‘Heady and rambunctious … Wake up, this book says: in its plot lines, in its humour, in its philosophical underpinnings and political agenda. I'll pay it the highest compliment it knows – this book is a wild thing.’ New York Times Book ReviewInterlaken, Berne, 21st century. Several things happen after the car hits the rock. Tiff ceases to be pregnant. Stephen captures, like, the most wonderful bird – fleet, stealthy, and beautiful – a real “lifer”. And the wallcreeper, the wallcreeper says “twee”.The Wallcreeper is nothing more than a portrait of marriage, complete with all its requisite highs and lows: drugs, dubstep, small chores, anal sex, eco-terrorism, birding, breeding and feeding.Nell Zink's The Wallcreeper is a humorous satire that has earned its place among the best in literary fiction. This top-rated book offers a unique and insightful exploration of marriage in the modern world.For fans of Percival L. Everett (James), David Nicholls (You Are Here), Anne Enright (The Wren, The Wren), Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead), and Eleanor Catton (Birnam Wood). Show more
