Swift! Orwell! Atwood! Roberts …

By Adam Roberts | July 11, 2007
Categories: Book News

“Land of the Headless is a darkly satirical tale that extrapolates an absurd idea into something weirdly plausible. This is not escapist adventure but a dystopian vision in the tradition of Swift, Orwell and Atwood against the cruellest extremes of human stupidity.”
THE TIMES

‘... grotesque satire of religious fundamentalism. Thoroughly engrossing . . . deeply affecting . . . impressively visceral . . . nightmarishly gripping . . . fiercely intelligent. While Richard Dawkin’s The God Delusion only annoyed the faithful, this novel aims to fry their brains’

STARBURST (five star review)
