Set in a post-apocalyptic England, RIDDLEY WALKER tells the tale of one twelve year old boy and his journey through the ruins of civilisation. But his inquiring mind and strange ways set him apart from his people, and when he discovers a relic of the old time, he sets in motion a chain of events that may well lead to the end of the world (again). After the death of his father in an accident, Riddley must become a man.
Challenging and rewarding, this is a book that repays rereading again and again. Written in a remarkable and rewarding language, RIDDLEY WALKER is a tour-de-force of imagination, history and psychology. There's a reason why the reviews were so good, and why so many authors cite it as an inspiration.
It is, quite frankly, a masterpiece.
