Description

• From the bestselling author of the Man Booker shortlisted novel, Mister Pip • Lloyd Jones brings his trademark lush and evocative language to this powerful allegorical tale about humanity and dignity and the ease with which we justify brutality • The Cage is a strange and confronting story about the treatment of two homeless and stateless men living in a cage in the grounds of a hotel • The two men are assigned an observer who treats them with cool dispassion and reports back to a committee. Occasionally he gifts them random objects like a plate warmer or a tree branch expecting them to be grateful • Everyone is curious to know where they came from and what happened to them but the men will not, or cannot say • With the same sensitivity seen in Hand Me Down World, Lloyd Jones goes to the heart of one of the most difficult and important issues facing humanity today.
