Description
The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess
A darkly absurd and inventive novel set in a world struggling to cope with overpopulation. Tristram Foxe and his wife Beatrice-Joanna face dire choices as their society descends into chaos.
With cannibalistic dining-clubs, fantastic fertility rituals, and wars without anger, this Penguin Essentials title explores the consequences of a world on the brink of collapse.
