**Game Control by Lionel Shriver - Preloved Paperback** Before *We Need to Talk About Kevin* made her famous, Lionel Shriver was already stirring up trouble with this wickedly provocative novel. Meet Calvin Piper, a misanthropic demographer convinced the world's heading for population apocalypse, and Eleanor Merritt, who finds herself caught between Calvin and his charming nemesis Wallace. Set against Kenya's backdrop, this dark comedy tackles overpopulation, relationships, and moral ambiguity with Shriver's signature razor-sharp wit. Perfect for readers who enjoyed *The Handmaid's Tale* or Chuck Palahniuk's twisted social commentary. If you like your fiction smart, uncomfortable, and refreshingly cynical about human nature, this literary fiction gem delivers in spades. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks brings you Shriver's provocative storytelling at an unbeatable price. **Reader Reviews:** "Disturbing and brilliant - couldn't put it down even when it made me squirm." "Shriver's early work shows she's always been fearless about tackling taboo subjects with intelligence and dark humor."
