Livestock

Excitement is building for this year's Twammies and Clementine Darling is hotly tipped to win Best Female Singer and Political Spokesperson! The government is embarrassed about the leak of a confidential email exchange, but have you heard about Clementine's new beau Devon Ayre? Yes, human cloning appears to have been legalised, but wasn't Devon once together with Clementine's arch rival Coral Jerome? And does it really matter what dubious corporate connections helped get this bill into place while Clementine and Coral are locking horns in a violent feud? Livestock is a razor-sharp satire on our relationship with the media from critically acclaimed graphic novelist, and New Statesman cartoonist, Hannah Berry. In the fight for the public's attention, why let public interest get in the way?'This is comic fantasy with a knife up its sleeve.' - The Telegraph'Engaging and timely, a rich brew of celebrity, menace, media-spin and human cloning.' – Posy Simmonds'As sharp and scathing as The Thick Of It, Hannah Berry’s third graphic novel takes a savage axe to the rot at the corporatised, spin-doctored, amoral heart of British democracy. The result is stunning, gripping and terrifyingly truthful. It is also very, very funny.' - Neel Mukherjee
