Barbarian Spring by Peter Lewis
Preising, Swiss industrialist and garrulous fusspot, finds himself in Tunisia, attending the wedding of two City traders from London. At an old Berber oasis transformed into a luxury resort, the bride rides in on a camel to take her vows. The ludicrous excesses of these braying, young, high-flying wealth-creators knows no bounds. But as they carouse the night away, sterling stands on the brink of collapse and Britannia looks set to slip beneath the waves of bankruptcy and chaos. Next morning, with thumping heads and their credit cards maxed out, and as the first rumblings of the Arab Spring grip their host country, the Bright Young Neo-Thatcherites stage a revolt of their own with unimaginably grotesque and blackly humorous consequences.
Jonas Luscher was born in 1976, in Switzerland, and grew up in Bern. In 2013 he received the Berner Literature Award and the Bavarian Art Prize. Barbarian Spring, his first work of fiction, was shortlisted for the Swiss Book Prize 2013 and longlisted for the German Book Prize in the same year.
