Fifty-fourFrom the authors of the bizarre and extraordinary Q comes this equally bizarre and powerful thriller. Set in the former Yugoslavia in the 1950s, the new novel by the members of the Luther Blissett Project, now calling themselves the Wu Ming Foundation, tells a story of the intrigue, spying and paranoia around the hiring of Cary Grant to play the lead role in a Yugoslav propaganda film. Truly bizarre, truly culty. |
