One Response to The Wall – John Lanchester

  1. Mr Red says:

    Memorable and rather grim satire on British isolationism and defensiveness against immigration following an unexplained natural catastrophe. Life on the Wall is atmospherically described and the world Lanchester portrays is consistent and convincing. The incidents are powerfully told. But the story is left unresolved, and too much of the background remains unclear and rather vague.
