Product Description
Synopsis
The re-issuing of Willeford's 1963 paranoia pulp classic The Machine in Ward Eleven gives us a timely reminder that madness is truly the dark heart of 21st century politics. Written at a time when we still had some faith in our elected leaders Willeford laid bare the American Dream. Events over the last 30 odd years have stripped away the hype and pomp but Willeford was there first. There is an almost Chekhovian wistfulness in the treatment of his stories which belies their considerable impact. Don't make the mistake of consigning this to some sort of historical context: Willeford is as chilling and relevant as ever.
