The Parade

Praise for Ben Miller

“Ben Miller’s The Parade is a breathless, wildly imaginative, dystopian romp. Think Dr. Seuss on steroids, Kerouac on a carousel, Orwell through the Looking Glass. It’s a movie in words, a kaleidoscope mural, motion in poetry. You’ll never read anything like it again.”
  —Dean King, New York Timesbestselling author of Skeletons on the Zahara

“Witty farce meets phantasmagorical nightmare, The Parade is a biting commentary on patriotism taken to its furthest extremes. Bursting with alliterative language and evocatively weird imagery…Miller’s fiction debut is eccentric and ambitious, a refreshing departure from the navel-gazing instincts that dominate modern fiction.”
–Ariadne Blayde, author of Ash Tuesday

“The Parade is a dystopian tour de force, an over-the-top epic of brainwashed mandatory patriotism run—I should say force-marched—amok.” 
—Stephen Kessler, author of The Tolstoy of the Zulus: On Culture, Arts & Letters
