  • "Set in a remote future in a post-nuclear holocaust England (Inland), 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. Read again or for the first time this masterpiece of 20th-century literature with new material by the author.--From publisher description."
  • "Written in an idiosyncratic yet authentic voice, an ingenious account describes Riddley Walker's attempt to understand the past and the present of a world which continues to exist two thousand years after the ultimate catastrophe occurred."@en
