Our Book of the Week is Joy Williams's astounding haywire dystopia, Harrow, which charts the remaking of meaning through ecological disaster (or at least through the failure to prevent ecological disaster (or even to notice the apocalypse)). Full of characters and situations that will burn themselves into your memory for ever, this is a book that is at once a deeply serious and madly funny portrayal of the world we are making (or destroying) for ourselves. "Harrow gets under your skin and, just when you’re confused, the lightbulb clicks on and it’s so bright you hope you’ll be in the dark again." —Stella
