A Bonfire of the Vanities for contemporary LondonFrom A. N. Wilson, the renowned historian and novelist, comes a stunningly bold new work of fiction set in the darkly glamorous media world. Wilson's London is a bleak, if occasionally hilarious, place: murderous, lustful, moneyobsessed, and haunted by strange gods.The Daily Legion is a rag that peddles celebrity gossip and denounces asylum seekers. The secret is that its financial survival depends on the support of a brutal African government. Recklessly defending this corrupt dictatorship, the newspaper faces off against Father Vivyan Chell, an Anglican monk and missionary who is working to overthrow the corrupt regime. They wage a smear campaign against the priest. Freedom fighters join the battle. Violence escalates.Called 'a big, broad, sweeping book, as disturbing as it is funny' by The Guardian, My Name Is Legion is a savage satire on the morality of contemporary Britainits press, its politics, its church, its rich, its underclass. At times shocking, at times tragic, it is a provocative take on presentday England, delivering both delicious fun and acid social commentary.
