The Alteration by Kingsley Amis

4.0

Wicked little alternative reality sci-fi, in which a talented boy singer is caught up in the corruption of a twentieth-century England in which the Reformation never took hold. Comic, picaresque satire on religion, power and sex, with a brilliant twist (literally) towards the end, as he seeks refuge with the caring, Puritan "New Englanders." Watch out for a Yorkshire Pope and some sly appearances by Sartre and Hockney...
