The Cockroach

Ian McEwan - 2019

Overview

Waking from uneasy dreams, Jim Sams finds himself transformed into a gigantic creature. In this new incarnation, he becomes the most powerful man in Britain, tasked with carrying out the will of the people. His mission allows nothing to stand in his way, not opposition, internal dissent, nor the rules of parliamentary democracy.

With trademark intelligence, insight, and scabrous humor, Ian McEwan pays tribute to Franz Kafka's most famous work, engaging with a world turned on its head.
