About The Wake
<p><i>A post-apocalyptic novel set a thousand years ago, <b>Paul Kingsnorth’s</b> account of the resistance to the Norman invasion is a landmark in modern fiction.</i></p><p>Set in the three years after the Norman invasion of 1066, <b>The Wake</b> tells the story of a man from the Lincolnshire Fens who, with a fractured band of guerrilla fighters, takes up arms against the invaders. It is a post-apocalyptic story of the brutal shattering of lives, a tale of lost gods and haunted visions, narrated by a man bearing witness to the end of his world. Written in what the author describes as “a shadow tongue”—a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to the modern reader—The Wake renders the inner life of an Anglo-Saxon man with an accuracy and immediacy rare in historical fiction<br></p><p><i>"It is no surprise that The Wake was long-listed for the Booker Prize in 2014 and has received praise from the likes of Philip Pullman, Eleanor Catton, and Geoff Dyer, among others. He has taken what could have been a thoroughly predictable novel and turned it on its head, delivering surprise after surprise. The novel becomes a meditation on what men are capable of as they are forced to watch their world fall apart around them. Powerless, damaged, and damned, Buccmaster of Holland is an unsettling character and his story is as disturbingly human as they come." </i> - <b> Katy Bowman, The Washington Independent Review Of Books</b></p><p><b>Paul Kingsnorth</b><i> is, to date, the only member of the Booker Prize fraternity also to be a member of the Lani tribe of western Papua New Guinea. Kingsnorth's tribal status was endowed as a result of his campaigning on behalf of the provinces of Papua and West Papua to secede from Indonesia. Campaigning is his métier: as a younger man, he was involved with road protest groups and was arrested for chaining himself to a bridge. He has worked for Greenpeace, OpenDemocracy and EarthAction and in 2001 was named one of Britain’s ‘top ten troublemakers’ by </i></p>
