Description

The Wilt Alternative by Tom Sharpe In this biting satire, Henry Wilt's life is turned upside down when he becomes embroiled in a terrorist siege. As Head of a reconstituted department, Wilt must confront the darker aspects of power and find a way to fight for liberal values threatened on all sides. With his unique blend of mental ingenuity and innate cowardice, Wilt navigates a complex web of politics and police tactics. As he struggles to stay one step ahead of those around him, Wilt is forced to re-examine his own values and loyalties. A brilliant and hilarious exploration of the absurdities of modern life, The Wilt Alternative exposes the farcical anomalies that have become our social norms.
