The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil

From theÂ New York TimesÂ bestsellingÂ author ofÂ Tenth of December, a 2013 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction, and the novelÂ Lincoln in the Bardo.

In a profoundly strange country called Inner Horner, large enough for only one resident at a time, citizens waiting to enter the country fall under the rule of the power-hungry and tyrannical Phil, setting off a chain of injustice and mass hysteria.
Â
An Animal Farm for the 21st century, this is an incendiary political satire of unprecedented imagination, spiky humor, and cautionary appreciation for the hysteric in everyone. Over six years in the writing, and brilliantly and beautifully packaged, this novella is Saunders' first stand-alone, book-length workâ€”and his first book for adults in five years.
