Reseña del editor:
Set against the backdrop of contemporary Kenya, this novel explores the dynamics of a Western relationship in the Third World, between two people who, on the one hand, believe in love and its self-expression and who, on the other, fear the worst for the future of the human race.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. Shriver, Lionel. Game control. First edition. London: Faber and Faber, 1994. Hardback, Good, in unclipped dustjacket with moderate shelfwear and rubbing to edges, chips to spine and small tears (1-2 cm) to bottom front and base of spine. Black cloth, slightly dented to top, with silver lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. 277pp. Tanning to edges of page block. Contents clean and bright. Lionel Shriver has written a sardonic, sexy, salutary novel about, of all things, population control. Game Control, Shriver s fourth book, is set in Africa a continent both beset by Malthusian horrors and scourged by AIDS. Theorists on demographics who take an extreme view might argue that attempts at remedying Africa s AIDS problem are folly, for they will guarantee that populations exceed the carrying capacity of the land. Dr Calvin Piper, the novel s protagonist, would take the argument a step further. His notion is to give AIDS a covert helping hand at genocide for the sake of the world at large, of course (New Scientist). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
