Böcker av Adam Biles

Manor Farm has reinvented itself as the South of England''s premium petting zoo. Now, instead of a working farm, humans and beasts alike are invited (for a small fee) to come and stroke, fondle, and take rides on the farm''s inhabitants. But life is not a bed of roses for the animals, in spite of what their leaders may want them to believe. Elections are rigged, the community is beset by factions, and sacred mottos are being constantly updated. The Farm is descending into chaos. What''s more, a mysterious ''illness'' has started ripping through the animals, killing them one by one... In Beasts of England, Adam Biles honours, updates and subverts George Orwell''s classic, all the while channelling the chaotic, fragmentary nature of populist politics in the Internet age into a savage farmyard satire.

Shakespeare and Company, Paris, is one of the world's most iconic and beautiful bookshops. Owner Sylvia Whitman developed the bookshop's readings programme. More recently this has been curated and hosted by Adam Biles, novelist and the bookshop's literary director. He has conducted several hundred interviews with novelists. Live For Humanity is a selection of the best of these interviews from the last decade.

Chosen by The Observer as a Fiction Pick for 2016 and described as a 'scintillating novel of ideas', Feeding Time is a debut like no other: a blast of rage against the dying of the light. Dot is losing the will to live. Tristan is sick of emptying bedpans. Cornish spends entire days barricaded in his office. And Ruggles... well. Ruggles is damn well going to escape those Nazi villains and get back to active duty. The mix is all the more combustible since Dot, Tristan, Cornish and Ruggles are all under the same roof - that of a rapidly declining old people's home called Green Oaks. There's going to be an explosion. It's going to be messy. And nobody knows who will pick up the pieces.
