From the acclaimed author of the dystopian classic A Clockwork Orange comes The Wanting Seed, an inventive, thought-provoking, and darkly absurd novel set in a world plagued by overpopulation. This captivating tale is part of our Penguin Essentials series, which showcases the finest of our modern classics. In a world where governments grapple with the challenges of maintaining order amidst food shortages and population growth, homosexuality is celebrated as a means to limit family sizes. Tristram Foxe and his wife, Beatrice-Joanna, find themselves at a crossroads, facing dire choices that will shape their future. Their world descends into a chaos of cannibalistic dining clubs, fantastical fertility rituals, and wars devoid of anger. The Wanting Seed is a thought-provoking exploration of societal norms, human nature, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. It is a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction and those who seek to examine the darker aspects of our society.
