Fibber - Walker Zupp - Bog

A forgotten past, a future history... The Tectum is a giant stone head in the wastelands of England, designed by the government to shelter citizens from a Belgian invasion. Crisis brews when Fibber, a poet-turned-civil-servant, arrives to take charge of the Tectum - typewriters fall out of the walls, whilst a doomed production of Othello is staged on the top floor. As Fibber struggles for control, a group of escapees battle the elements outside, unable to thwart the government's plans for the Tectum... "A transmutation of Kotlovan, ringing close to the Aki Kaurismaki adaptation of Crime and Punishment. An important piece of modern proletariat story-telling with style." - Connor de Bruler, author of Hollow Bible "Walker Zupp's Fibber: a philosophical novel told in the absurdist tradition, in a post-apocalyptic wasteland; Chaucerian; Mad Max deep-fried in DaDa. Fibber the poet turned bureaucrat has been sent to manage a prison contained in a giant head known as the Tectum, and Othello is everywhere you look. Profound, witty, and occasionally sublime, Fibber is nothing if not playful. It teases and taunts, and draws you ever deeper into its maze of mind-bending uncertainty." - Gabriel Chad Boyer, author of Devil, Everywhere I Look "Fibber is a wild yarn that infuses the suffering of Candide with the wit of Groucho Marx. A lyrical madhouse, a sendup of Russian literature, sharply satirical while maintaining a compelling story. Fibber finds the cosmic joke in our mortality." - Charis Emanon, author of 51 Ways to End Your World and Azzfapple
