The New Republic by Shriver Shriver

A scalpel-sharp political satire from the Orange Prize winning writer of We Need to Talk about Kevin.

'Shriver is an incisive social satirist with a clear grip on the ironies of our contemporary age' LA Times Praise for So Much For That: 'Wide-ranging, sometimes zany and unpredictable, this is a compelling read. And however many twists Shriver shoves in, you always believe her' The Times 'Many people will like Lionel Shriver's ninth novel - admirers of gripping and clever contemporary fiction, discerning critics and, if there is any justice, literary prize committees' Guardian 'Shriver proves she is not afraid of anything...' Observer 'It's a wonder that subject matter on the surface so bleak can be transformed into something so uplifting' Daily Telegraph 'Yes, a brilliantly funny cancer book! You can rely on Lionel Shriver to upend your expectations' Daily Express 'Required reading for all mortals' Daily Mail '...witty, observant and beautifully controlled. British readers will close this excellent novel feeling grateful for the NHS' Literary Review '...a visceral and deeply affecting story, a story about how illness affects people's relationships, and how their efforts to grapple with mortality reshape the arcs of their lives' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
