"Literature is a kind of revenge. It's something that gives me what real life can't give me . . . All the experiences I can only live in the imagination, literature completes." —Mario Vargas Llosa We can't wait to publish the Nobel Prize winner's two new books coming out in March: THE NEIGHBORHOOD and SABERS AND UTOPIAS.
In The Savage, Frank Bill’s raucous and action-packed follow-up to Donnybrook, mayhem is still the order of the day. Chock-full of Bill’s signature razor-sharp prose and bloodlust, The Savage is “Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale set to the tune of Hank Williams Jr.’s ‘Country Boys Can Survive’” (Ace Atkins). Here, one of America’s most iconoclastic young storytellers presents an unnerving vision of a fractured America gone terribly wrong, and a study of what happens when the last systems of morality and society collapse.
