From the blurb:
'Meet Harvey Kidd: divorced, beclobbered and unfree. A defective product of society, briefly and catastrophically catapulted into significance against his will. Imprisoned on the Sea Hero, Harvey has found solace in the art of papier mache. But as the penitentiary ship sails back towards the island of Atlantica, Harvey is forced to re-live his doomed visit to Head Office, nerve-centre of the system that spat him out.
In a thrilling satirical fable, Liz Jensen evokes a weird and chilling parallel world of rampant consumerism, fervent Utopians, emotional surrogacy and love on the rocks.'
