About the Book

England is ruled by Jobling, a dictator with an efficient secret police and a long memory. Richard Watt used all his journalistic talents to expose Jobling before he came to power. Now, in exile in Italy, Watt cultivates his vineyards. His rural idyll is shattered by the arrival of an emissary from London. Derek Raymond's deft skill is to make all too plausible the transition to dictatorship in an England obsessed with ?looking after number one?. First published in 1970, A State of Denmark is a classic.

About the Author :
Derek Raymond was born Robin Cook in 1931. The son of a textile magnate, he dropped out of Eton aged sixteen and spent much of his early career among criminals. The Factory series followed his early novels, The Crust on Its Uppers and A State of Denmark. His literary memoir The Hidden Files was published in 1992. He died in London in 1994.

Review :
?Raymond?s novel is rooted firmly in the dystopian vision of Orwell and Huxley, sharing their air of horrifying hopelessness? Sunday Times ?A State of Denmark is carried out with surgical precision... a fascinating and important novel by one of our best writers in or outside of any genre? Time Out ?Alternative science fiction on the scale of Orwell?s 1984 or Zamyatin?s We? Q
