WOLF COUNTRY

Tunde Farrand (Lightning-Eye)

Imagine a world where your existence and its ‘right to reside’ is dictated by how much money you spend. Working all day to indulge, pamper and shop to the extreme is an obligatory contribution, or else you’re forced to give up: retire and be euthanised at a Dignitorium. Alice’s comfortable middle-spender ways are shattered when her husband Philip disappears; leaving her adrift in uselessness, facing potential termination, spinning in the injustice of it all. Will she find out the truth about her husband? Survive the despairing ways of low-spender life? Or just give in to death? Wolf Country will chill your heart and make you sick at the possibility of such a cruel and politically unsound world. Tunde Farrande absolutely nails dystopia and its unsettling predictions, with incredible writing.
