Lionel Shriver, arguably the world’s greatest living libertarian novelist, has found another timely subject worthy of her illuminating insight and piercing wit.
Living up to her iconoclastic reputation, the British-American novelist finds satirical, intensely dramatic and gut-wrenchingly personal dimensions to bring to life in Mania.
The cautionary fable depicts a slightly different but recognizable contemporary world where good intentions have gone terribly astray.
Set in the recent past and present but in a wryly revealing alternate history, Mania portrays an America taken over by a new ideology: the Mental Parity movement.
Warning: Any resemblances to any cultlike trends or movements of today or just yesterday are purely intentional.
