(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 10, 2012 ) Middlesex, UK -- 'Iceberg' is the definite apocalyptic feel-good novel from Paul Kavanagh, the mind that bludgeoned readers with 'The Killing of a Bank Manager'. 'Iceberg' centres around Don and Phoebe, a naïve yet loveable couple from the North of England who happen to win an iceberg. Read on as Don and Phoebe rush across Europe, Africa and Antarctica in search of their prize.
Will Don and Phoebe make it? Where is humanity heading? No, honestly, where is humanity heading with all the technology and celebrities in a world where everything now seems possible but nothing really is? Just a few light-hearted questions that 'Iceberg' doesn't attempt to answer. What inspired 'Iceberg'? “Dante’s 'Divina Commedia' inspired 'Iceberg', but so did 'Whale Wars' on Animal Planet, and pictures of the debris after the Japan earthquake,” says Paul Kavanagh.
Part travel book, part black comedy, this three-part tale will amuse and inspire readers to take up arms, against themselves. And 'Iceberg' is not just words on paper, it's drawings on paper too as etched out by Alex Chilvers, an up-and-coming artist from Britain. His detailed, sensitive drawings perfectly capture the manic goings-on in the book, turning 'Iceberg' into an illustrated book of the highest order.
Here's what Salt author, David Rose, had to say about 'Iceberg':
“If Kavanagh’s first novel was Art Brut, this is a brilliantly animated series of Donald McGill cartoons, with the same scabrous innocence and scarifying pathos. But it mutates into something wilder and deeper – a joyous, kaleidoscopic vision of life. It resists both summary and analogy. It is, simply, inimitable Kavanagh.”
So join in the end of the world fun and games with Paul Kavanagh's 'Iceberg', out now from all good and all bad bookshops.
