<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A brilliant, of-the-moment political satire like no other: here is Ian McEwan's Brexit-era take on Kafka's <i>Metamorphosis</i>, centered on a cockroach transformed into the prime minister of England. An Anchor Original.</b> <p/><i>That morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant creature.</i> <p/>Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain--and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way; not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy. <p/>In this bitingly funny Kafkaesque satire, Ian McEwan engages with scabrous humor a very recognizable political world and turns it on its head.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ian McEwan is the bestselling author of seventeen books, including the novels <i>Nutshell</i>;<i> The Children Act</i>; <i>Sweet Tooth</i>; <i>Solar</i>, winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize; <i>Saturday</i>; <i>Atonement</i>, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the W.
