A small rural village is gripped by an epidemic of heroin usage. Désiré, once the pride of the family, has become one of its many ‘sleeping children’, found slumped, unconscious, in the street. Against all odds, Désiré’s family desperately try to save him from the lure of addiction as his life descends into chaos. But something else lingers on the horizon, approaching fast. Far away in Paris, alarm bells are ringing. A race across the globe is beginning, urgent to make sense of a deadly new virus, one that will come to define a generation. But within the statistics, documents and landmarks lie the tragic stories of families torn apart, never told, fading slowly into obscurity. Here, then, is the story of Désiré.

Mostly Hero
FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE WINNER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MILKMANStill eighty-two, still with fifty-seven bullets in her, still dying, and with a blood-trail resembling a post-structuralist anti-principle of a traditional abstracted countercomposition, she was softly cursing and willing herself not to die. Follow Hero the superhero as he saves the world from villains and falls in love with a femme fatale named Femme Fatale. Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is a hilarious, witty, hell-raising romp through a world of superheroes. 'This crazy little nugget from the winner of the Booker prize for Milkman is a brutal satire of the superhero phenomenon. It ridicules the mindlessness of violence and the glorification of the same in popular culture, and that with a touch of feminism.' ? reader review'Out of the ordinary, extraordinary. This is unlike anything.'? reader review'SOOOO WEIRD. SOOOO CRAZY. SOOOO BRILLIANT' ? reader review
