Blisteringly funny, surreal and wonderfully un-pc dystopian satire on contemporary America and western society by a fresh and original new voice.
Rupert Morgan was born in London in 1965, to Scottish parents. He currently lives, with his wife and two daughters, on a boat in Paris. Rule No.1 is his third novel. His first two, Let There Be Lite and Something Sacred, are also available in Bantam paperback. Rupert Morgan can be contacted on rupert.morgan@wanadoo.fr
'Satire which takes you up to the edge of libellous - and gets away
with it...Nothing is spared by Rupert Morgan's blistering pen:
neither love, family, democracy, race relations, politics, nor
journalism. Atlanta is a place where logic is dangerously inverted
and morality a dangerously old-fashioned concept. As a story it
rattles along with the pace of a thriller. As an inventive swipe at
the Establishment, it will make you laugh while you wince'
*Daily Mail*
'Rupert Morgan's satire of modern life is brilliant. He is like Ben
Elton at his wittiest but minus the worthiness: although he makes
salient points about our time, taking swipes at democracy, big
business, justice and celebrity - you don't feel as if they are
being rammed down your throat. His writing is fast and his
characterization superb...Definitely one to watch'
*Daily Express*
'You must read Rupert Morgan's outstanding Let There Be Lite...It's
fast-moving and hilarious...Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams will be
spitting feathers'
*Esquire*
'Bittersweet, laugh-out-loud funny, and all too true'
*Fay Weldon*
'Outstanding...Fans of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams will adore
this dazzling satire on the digital age, but it is startlingly
original from its side-splitting first lines to the thoughtful
conclusion...Packed with fresh comic touches'
