Omschrijving
An NPR "Favorite Books of the Year" and Financial Times "Best Fiction of the Year" selection.
The best-selling author of The Debt to Pleasure and Capital returns with a chilling fable for our time.
"Lanchester’s novel…elegantly and chillingly imagines how current political attitudes might play out as the repercussions of climate change grow more severe."
"Gripping…Full of tense action and sudden reversals…Few readers will stop until they reach its final page."
"Thrilling…A topical and deftly satirical novel."
"As in all good dystopian fiction, Lanchester shows us a world that could become a reality…[He] maintains measured, elegant prose–creating an assuredly human dystopian novel."
"[A] taut tale…It’s not clear what it will take to finally convince us that it’s time to panic about climate change, but works of fiction such as The Wall have an important role to play."
"Bold and confident fiction that highlights the current American and British issues of Trumpism and Brexit. "
"A chilling reminder of the ease with which myopia can turn to dystopia."
"Chillingly real."
"An utterly persuasive story set in a dystopic future. Unputdownable. It's 1984 for our times."
"In The Wall, John Lanchester takes our current political climate to its terrible and logical extreme. A harrowing, brilliant, and troublingly plausible vision of the future."
"The Wall is something new: almost an allegory, almost a dystopian-future warning, partly an elegant study of the nature of storytelling itself. I was hugely impressed by it."
John Lanchester is the author of five novels, including The Debt to Pleasure and Capital. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages, and he is a regular contributor to The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. He lives in London.
