From the acclaimed author of the dystopian classic A Clockwork
Orange, The Wanting Seed is an inventive, thought-provoking and
darkly absurd novel set in a work rampant with overpopulation. The
Wanting Seed is part of our Penguin Essentials series which
spotlights the very best of our modern classics. As governments
struggle to maintain order in the face of overpopulation and food
shortages and homosexuality is glorified in an attempt to further
limit family sizes, Tristram Foxe and his wife Beatrice-Joanna find
themselves facing dire choices. Their world transforms into a chaos
of cannibalistic dining-clubs, fantastic fertility rituals, and
wars without anger.
