Dr. No, Paperback / softback Book

Dr. No Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Winner of the 2023 Windham Campbell Prize for Fiction, Dr. No is the spy thriller reinvented with Percival Everett's typical biting satire. Wala Kitu is a professor of mathematics at Brown University, specializing in nothing.

Kitu is content with nothing – studying it, having it, doing it – until his research places him in the sights of billionaire and would-be Bond villain John Sill, who enlists the professor’s help to steal a deposit of nothing from Fort Knox and use it to reduce the United States of America to nothing. Sill wants vengeance for another act of all-American villainy: the murder of his father, a witness to the state-sanctioned assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

His mission is everything: ‘This country has never given anything to us and it never will.''Clever, funny and mercilessly satirical.' – The Times
