john lanchester

John Lanchester – acclaimed as "an elegant and wonderfully witty writer" (New York Times) – has written a taut, hypnotic novel of a broken world and what might be found when all is lost. A chilling fable, Lanchester’s The Wall (W. W. Norton) blends the most compelling issues of our time – rising waters, rising fear, rising political division – into a suspenseful story of love, trust, and survival.
