    DescriptionGliff
    O brave new world, that has such people in't.

    Once upon a time not very far from now, two children come home to find a line of wet red paint encircling the outside of their house.

    What does it mean?

    It’s a truism of our time that it’ll be the next generation who’ll sort out our increasingly toxic world.

    What would that actually be like?

    In a state turned hostile, a world of insiders and outsiders, what things of the past can sustain them and what shape can resistance take?

    And what’s a horse got to do with any of this?

    Gliff is a novel about how we make meaning and how we are made meaningless. With a nod to the traditions of dystopian fiction, a glance at the Kafkaesque, and a new take on the notion of classic, it's a moving and electrifying read, a vital and prescient tale of the versatility and variety deep-rooted in language, in nature and in human nature.
