JOHN BOYNE - GEBRAUCHT THE ECHO CHAMBER JOHN BO...

'The funniest book I've read in ages. Savage but compelling' Ian Rankin 'A fearless romp with
big laughs along the way' Graham Norton 'Funny  rumbustious  unstinting and wonderfully
Hogarthian' The Observer 'His relish is infectious' Times _____________________________ What a
thing of wonder a mobile phone is. Six ounces of metal  glass and plastic  fashioned into a
sleek  shiny  precious object. At once  a gateway to other worlds - and a treacherous weapon in
the hands of the unwary  the unwitting  the inept. The Cleverley family live a gilded life 
little realising how precarious their privilege is  just one tweet away from disaster. George 
the patriarch  is a stalwart of television interviewing  a 'national treasure' (his words)  his
wife Beverley  a celebrated novelist (although not as celebrated as she would like)  and their
children  Nelson  Elizabeth  Achilles  various degrees of catastrophe waiting to happen.
Together they will go on a journey of discovery through the Hogarthian jungle of the modern
living where past presumptions count for nothing and carefully curated reputations can be
destroyed in an instant. Along the way they will learn how volatile  how outraged  how
unforgiving the world can be when you step from the proscribed path. Powered by John Boyne's
characteristic humour and razor-sharp observation  The Echo Chamber is a satiric helter skelter
a dizzying downward spiral of action and consequence  poised somewhere between farce  absurdity
and oblivion. To err is maybe to be human but to really foul things up you only need a phone.
'Sharp  funny  and beautifully written  but it's also a brilliant reflection on the landscape
we now live in' Sunday Times bestselling author  Joanna Cannon
