About this book: The Society of Others spoke more to me than anything else I've read in a decade. While it works at a plethora of levels, it is essentially about individuals and their relationship with their State, political entities that (worldwide) may be seen as increasingly controlling, interventionist, repressive and dehumanising. It dawns on you, as the journey unfolds, that the Stalinesque/Mugabe-ish state in which the central character finds himself marooned is your country, no matter where you are and that our salvation, as human beings, resides in our relationships and capacity to value the wonder to be found in others. A minor masterpiece. (Reader review) Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; ISBN: 0385606826. ISBN/EAN: 9780385606820. Inventory No: VM-8J68-BK05. .
