<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in the near future, <em>The Wanting Seed</em> is a Malthusian comedy about the strange world overpopulation will produce.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Tristram Foxe and his wife, Beatrice-Joanna, live in their skyscraper world where official family limitation glorifies homosexuality. Eventually, their world is transformed into a chaos of cannibalistic dining-clubs, fantastic fertility rituals, and wars without anger. It is a novel both extravagantly funny and grimly serious.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Wildly and fantastically funny. . . . Here too is all the usual rich exuberance of Mr. Burgesss vocabulary, his love of quotations and literary allusions. . . . A remarkable and brilliantly imagined novel, vital and inventive.-- "Times Literary Supplement [London]"<br>
