Description
Seven Down by David Whitton is a quirky and character-driven debut novel that follows seven hotel employees as they try to make sense of a botched assassination attempt. The story is told through transcripts of interviews with each employee, revealing the intricate mechanism behind the failed event and the desperation and secret rage that drove them to take part. As the debriefings unfold, Whitton paints a panorama of life, exposing the mundane human failings behind geopolitical machinations. With a tone that is both sinister and absurd, this novel is a puzzle to be solved, a comedy, and a commentary on the darker aspects of human nature. A rare and thought-provoking read, Seven Down is a worthwhile read for those who enjoy character-driven fiction with a satirical edge.
