Riddley Walker

By Russell Hoban A new edition of a much-loved novel. Set in a remote future in a post-nuclear holocaust England (Inland), author Russell Hoban has imagined a humanity regressed to an iron-age, semi-literate state — and invented a language to represent it. Riddley is at once the Huck Finn and the Stephen Dedalus of his culture—rebel, change agent, and artist. Indiana University Press, 1998, softcover, 235 pages.
