Colony by Hugo Wilcken
From the author of the existential thriller The Execution comes Colony, a novel set in French Guiana as the age of Empire draws to a close and anarchy beckons.Praise for ‘The Execution’:
'Unnervingly cool prose…an entertainingly urbane thriller [whose] suspense lies not in the whodunit, but in watching a perfect life unravel' Daily Telegraph
'An impressive and sure-footed debut…Wilcken's tight, energetic prose keeps the pages turning.' Daily Mail
'Wilcken, who lives in Paris, has chosen the extremely French subject of murder and adultery…The tone, which in its fatalism could be called existential, could also, in its acceptance of the way the world and emotions work, be called wise. Through this tone and elegant patterning, “The Execution” transcends genre.' Observer
'Taut, menacing, full of sinister beguilements. And unsettlingly shrewd.' Will Eaves, author of “The Oversight”
Hugo Wilcken is in his thirties and British-Australian. He lives in Paris, where he has worked as a writer since 1990. His first book, ‘The Exectution’, was published to critical acclaim in 2001.
