From the Orange Prize-winning author of We Have to Talk about Kevin comes a grimly comic story of bad ideas and good intentions. Using a deft, droll touch, Shriver highlights the hypocrisy of lofty intellectuals who would 'save' humanity but who can't stand people. Eleanor Merritt, a do-gooding American family-planning worker, was attracted to Kenya to improve the lot of the poor. Unnervingly, she confirms herself falling deeply in love with the beguiling Calvin Piper despite, or simply because of, his misanthropic theories about people control and the continuing future of the human race. Surely, Calvin whispers seductively in Eleanor's hearing, if the poor are a responsibility, also, they are an imposition. Place against the brilliant backdrop of modern-day Africa, Game Control is a wry, sardonic conspiracy account about bad ideas and good intentions.
