THE WAR ZONE is everywhere for its young narrator Tom - on the streets of London, in the Devon countryside, but above all at the heart of his outwardly safe middle class family, and his relationship with his sister, Jessie. A tightly drawn, savagely seductive portrayal of adolescent anger and social disorder. The Times For writers, incest arguably tops the risk tables, with adolescent narrators a close second. THE WAR ZONE tackles both, with stunning success. This is a pungent shocking book, superbly written (sharp, sensuous, bitter) .... I was horrified but seduced from first to last. The writing is remarkable. Anthony Burgess

About the Author

Alexander Stuart (aka Alexander Chow-Stuart) is a Los Angeles-based, British-born novelist and screenwriter, whose novels, non-fiction and children's books have been translated into eight languages and published in the US, Britain, Europe and throughout the world. His most controversial novel, The War Zone, about a family torn apart by incest, was turned into a searingly emotional film by Oscar-nominated actor/director Tim Roth. At the time of the book's initial publication, it was stripped of the Whitbread Best Novel Award amid controversy among the panel of three judges. As a screenwriter, Stuart has worked with actors ranging from Angelina Jolie to Jodie Foster, and with directors including Tim Roth, Danny Boyle and Jonathan Glazer. Stuart lives in California with his wife, Charong Chow, their two young children and a growing menagerie of pets. www.alexanderstuart.com
