Items related to Livestock
Excitement is building for this year’s Twammies and Clementine Darling is hotly tipped to win Best Female Singer and Political Spokesperson!
The government is embarrassed about the leak of a confidential email exchange, but have you heard about Clementine’s new beau Devon Ayre? Yes, human cloning appears to have been legalised, but wasn’t Devon once together with Clementine’s arch rival Coral Jerome? And does it really matter what dubious corporate connections helped get this bill into place while Clementine and Coral are locking horns in a violent feud?
Livestock is a razor-sharp satire on our relationship with the media from critically acclaimed graphic novelist Hannah Berry. In the fight for the public’s attention, why let public interest get in the way?

About the Author:
Hannah Berry is the author of two highly praised graphic novels, Britten and Brulightly and Adamtine.
Review:
"A satire set in a not-very-distant future (think tomorrow, or possibly the day after) ... In this tale, the gruesome relationship between celebrity and politics has moved way beyond The One Show sofa... Knowing and savage, Livestock is that rare thing: a comic book that has only grown more essential in the gap between its inception and its publication." - Rachel Cooke - Observer
"Hannah Berry’s graphic novels have a brilliantly threatening kind of British humour to them: you read them, you smirk, then you look over your shoulder... Livestock...tells the kind of story that will be familiar ground for viewers of Black Mirror and The Thick of It, mixing scathingly realistic political situations and dialogue with a satirical premise that balloons towards the absurd... The real meat of Livestock is in the bleak viciousness of its satire... This is comic fantasy with a knife up its sleeve." - Tim Martin - Daily Telegraph
"A sharp socio-political satire, germane for the current political climate." - Nicola Streeten - Times Literary Supplement
"Uneducated, pliant, easy to control - that's how our rulers want us. But in Hannah Berry's dark tale of celebrity and corporate greed, the people have other ideas. A parable for the Trump era." - Paul Mason -
"Engaging and timely, a rich brew of celebrity, menace, media-spin and human cloning." - Posy Simmonds -
