A quintessentially pastoral British dystopia. The opening reads as an ode to the green, green grass of home, and the novel soon shows us how inextricably linked our society and future is with the nature we depend on. The Death of Grass shows us teetering on the edge of disaster, and how quickly our base instincts rise to the surface when our resources and legal systems fall away.

Littered with beautiful landscapes and fluffy clouds, Christopher draws stark contrast with the characters violent, brutal actions. And those actions are not only in the name of survival; the urges for murder, lust and power also rear their heads when certain people know there’s no one to judge them.

A criminally underrated classic.
