Ian McEwan is the critically acclaimed author of seventeen books. His first published work, a collection of short stories, First Love, Last Rites, won the Somerset Maugham Award. His novels include The Child in Time, which won the 1987 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award; The Cement Garden; Enduring Love; Amsterdam, which won the 1998 Booker Prize; Atonement; Saturday; On Chesil Beach; Solar; Sweet Tooth; The Children Act; and Nutshell, which was a Number One bestseller. Atonement, Enduring Love, The Children Act and On Chesil Beach have all been adapted for the big screen.
Kafka meets The Thick Of It in a bitingly funny new political satire from Ian McEwan.
That morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a gigantic creature.
Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain – and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way: not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy.
With trademark intelligence, insight and scabrous humour, Ian McEwan pays tribute to Franz Kafka’s most famous work to engage with a world turned on its head.

飛機上讀的。詞有點難。不要輕易嘗試。but very powerful and thought provoking. 看到最後結局,有拍案的衝動,不禁也想加入cockroach大軍,完成重大使命後,凱鏇而歸臭水溝。
评分...the f**k?
评分Last chapter makes a spasm and climax. It's propelled that you wanna join the cockroach team and dash into a bright future which one has one's own mind. Sure, sarcasm is always being there and ironic discourse of politicians is available. How to solve financial problems and international affairs even guides you to deal with similar stuffs. Wisdom!
评分沒什麼共鳴 可能本來對脫歐也不太瞭解
评分一如既往的天馬行空
