The Histories of Dude
Paul Blachard's debut novel is a highly original
slice of British science-fantasy.
Welcome to the world according to Veratas Maldoror,
philosopher, martial artist and time traveller. Through his eyes we
explore a fantastical post-apocalyptic future, where philosophers fight
tyranny.
'Histories' is multi-layered. A scathing critique
of consumer greed and Bush/Blair imperialism. A philosophical essay
on free-speech. But it is also a breathtaking thriller in a unique setting:
civil war engulfs already poisoned landscapes, and the entire American
continent is the domain of mutated man-eating spiders!
