H(A)PPY

From the internationally acclaimed, Man Booker-shortlisted Nicola Barker comes a new novel, a post-post apocalyptic story that overflows with pure creative talent.

Imagine a perfect world where everything is known, where everything is open, where there can be no doubt, no hatred, no poverty, no greed.

Imagine a System which both nurtures and protects.

A Community which nourishes and sustains.

An infinite world.

A world without sickness, without death.

A world without God.

A world without fear.

Could you.

.

might you be happy there?

H(A)PPY is a post-post apocalyptic Alice in Wonderland, a story which tells itself and then consumes itself.

It's a place where language glows, where words buzz and sparkle and finally implode.

It's a novel which twists and writhes with all the terrifying precision of a tiny fish in an Escher lithograph ?

€“ a book where the mere telling of a story is the end of certainty.
