More about the book

A harmless joke spirals into chaos at a conference in Wales, where experts on the 18th-century poet Madoc gather in a secluded venue run by a religious sect. The attendees, a mix of shady and repressed academics, are obsessed with discovering an unknown page from Madoc's works. When a new canto unexpectedly surfaces, it ignites a series of vengeful plots and grotesque confrontations, leading to a literary disaster. This darkly satirical debut weaves a sharp social commentary reminiscent of Swift and Pope.
