54 – A Novel by Wu Ming<\/a>, i.e. the Luther Blissetts who wrote “Q”.<\/p>\n

Published by William Heinemann on the 5th May.<\/p>\n

’54 plays with the forms of espionage novel, the noir genre, and social realism. It seeks to transcend those forms, and it does: this is mutant fiction, a living narrative organism composed of various bodies that aim at multiple endpoints. The most accomplished: a spy story on the surface, with an eye on the ordinary citizen, who acts as witness or protagonist of history. This happens at a level where myths – the archetypical hero, but it goes beyond that – are described as doubtful and ambiguous constructions. It makes sense then that Cary Grant reads Casino Royale (the first James Bond novel) with perplexity and amazement, before he meets Marshall Tito and ends up talking with him about the personality cult.’
