About the Author:
Howard Jacobson lives in London and is the author of eight previous novels and four works of non-fiction. He won the Everyman Wodehouse Award for comic writing in 1999 for The Mighty Walzer.
Review:
“J is a snarling, effervescent and ambitious philosophical work of fiction that poses unsettling questions about our sense of history, and our self-satisfied orthodoxies. Jacobson's triumph is to craft a novel that is poignant as well as troubling from the debris.” - The Independent
"A vaulting departure from Jacobson’s usual contemporary comedies, it is an eerie, melancholy satire set in a distant Orwellian future. A provocative dystopian fantasy to stack next to Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, J has the kind of nightmarish twist which makes you want to turn back to page one immediately and read the whole thing again." - The Daily Express
“The dystopian British novel of our times.” - The Guardian
