I'm a great fan of John Lanchester's nonfiction (especially his essays in The New Yorker and the LRB). He's a master stylist with a gift for explaining seemingly dull or abstruse subjects in lively prose. Until now I've been less impressed by Lanchester's fiction, but The Wall is a sturdy and disquieting dystopian novel that deserves a wide readership. It's an unpreachy parable and a post-apocalyptic coming-of-age story that gradually picks up speed and significance as it moves away from the wall.

Read this in one 24-hour period, despite lukewarm reviews here. Interesting how many readers responded to this book so negatively...! It’s also interesting to me that climate change is somehow characterized as a political (liberal) position by many in our society. There are no political ideas espoused in this book. It’s posited on the idea that a cataclysm of some kind caused sea levels to rise, not by a few inches, but by many feet. I’m willing to accept this as a premise, not least because I also happened to be reading The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells, so I was in a climate change kind of mindset. I don’t really need an explanation of how the cataclysm happened, and the “why” is pretty apparent. And that’s a different book—-there are loads of books explaining the why of climate change, if you can take absorbing incredibly terrifying ideas. This book starts with a set of premises that the reader is asked to accept, kind of like Handmaid’s Tale, 1984, and many other speculative fiction books. The story is told without undue extra information, focuses on one person’s story. The narrative highlights the emotions of despair and loss, focusing on the extreme conditions—-life without fire, exposed to the elements, and with food and water a constant concern could be MUCH more uncomfortable than most of uS, reading in our comfortable heated living rooms with electric lights and leftovers in the refrigerator and no armed pirates trying to steal our food and water, want to acknowledge. The reality of climate change has always seemed too big to get my mind around, too hopeless for one person to be able even imagine how to respond. Recycling seems kind of pointless. But this dramatization of how we might end up helped me imagine one possible scenario, and not even a worst case scenario. In the worst case, life on earth is reduced by 90 some percent, as has occurred five times in the past. After reading these two books, one scientific nonfiction and this book, the story of one human being reduced to primitive circumstances and struggling to survive, I feel like it’s time to join whatever forces out there are fighting climate change. For that reason alone, I’m glad I read it. Docked one star because it ends too soon, and unsatisfactorily.

Overall too preachy-not well developed-poor ending.

What makes this story so disturbing isn’t just the world the author created, but even more so, the emotions of the main characters. They are mostly helpless pawns navigating a world that their parents’ generation created and controlled. But when you want to vilify them, you realize it’s yourself.

Surrounding the island of Great Britain, The Wall was constructed after The Change, the oceans rose and the earth was unable to continue to sustain the global population. The Others can attack at any moment; their desire to enter the a semi-working civilization of Britain stokes relentless courage. But the Defenders are there to man the wall in 12-hour shifts. Newly conscripted into his 2-year appointment, Kavanagh must learn the routine quickly.There is talk all over the news about walls, both literal and figurative. Treaties and alliances formed and broken. Strong-willed politicians who drum up support based on fear of the others. And individuals who are sent into the fray in the midst of their debating conscious. Lanchester pushes the debates forward, but in a subtle way. He focuses on that soldier, that individual, who is in turns apathetic, angry, and contemplative.I don't want to give away too much of the plot because it is such a short book. But you can expect the training of the Defenders, which serves as an introduction to the Wall and its history and politics. And yes, you can expect an attack. Now is the time to mention a key rule in the defense of the country: if an attack occurs and the Others are successful in entering the country, those Defenders who are responsible will be pushed out to sea...Lanchester's story is weighing on me hours after finishing. Ultimately, I think this will be a polarizing read. There are many things I liked about it. The premise, the ending, several of the characters. But I wanted a little more out of the main character. I wanted him to have some sort of passion, either for or against the Wall. He more connected with his mates, and was focused on finishing his tenure of service than with anything bigger than himself for most of the book, but there is a change, a realization of sorts. There are some excellent twists and an ending that was something I didn't expect, but loved.

The Wall. The huge structure of stone, ice, and magic on the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms. Jon Snow's wall at Winterfell that keeps back the Wildlings and White Walkers. Oh that's a different wall.Patrolling 'The Wall' is repetitive, monotonous, tedious, boring, uninteresting, humdrum, mundane, tiresome, wearisome, dreary, soul-destroying, mind-numbing.I get it.Dragons? This book was difficult to review. An interesting premise that just didn't come together. Good writing and well paced but not much happened. I guess that was the idea to show the monotony of patrolling the wall.When will the Dragons show up? Once the 'Others' get over the wall where do the go?Is there an underground railroad that hides them?Where are the drones? Why don't the defenders have night vision infra red goggles? Why don't they have giant spotlights on top of the wall? Submarines patrolling the waters near the wall? No?What does climate change have to do with technology?Just should have been better.What's that on the horizon? Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion?!
