Screwed-up England and its characters channelled in strange, twisted, funny, cartoon-like innovative fiction that grasps our times better than straight realism.
With an introduction by Jarvis Cocker

Screwed-up England and its characters channelled in strange, twisted, funny, cartoon-like innovative fiction that grasps our times better than straight realism.

A comical and brutal weave of parables gone wrong, 'Endland' holds a broken mirror to England. In its garish but strangely familiar world of empty tower blocks, 24-hour cyber cafes and bomb sites, a motley collection of misfits, wanderers and charmed drunks do their best to survive. Nothing is stable in 'Endland' and what’s more, the gods have started drinking at lunchtime, which can only lead to trouble.

Conjured in a mix of slang, pub anecdote, folktale and science fiction, 'Endland' is the nightmare unfolding just outside the window – a glitchy parade of aging bikers and ghost children, cut-price assassins and witless wannabe celebs.

The world fashioned by Thatcher, Google, NATO, ICANN, Brexit, Big Brother, Bin Laden and Trump needs new narratives to make sense of it. In 'Endland', with feverish wit and a broken compass, Etchells unpicks the myths and strange realities we’re caught up in.
