Book description
The Daily Legion is a tabloid that peddles celebrity gossip and
denounces asylum seekers. However, its financial survival depends on
the support of a brutal African government. Recklessly defending this
corrupt dictatorship, the newspaper faces off against Father Vivyan
Chell, an Anglican monk and missionary who is working to overthrow the
corrupt regime.
My Name Is Legion is a savage satire on the morality of
contemporary Britain - its Press, its politics, its Church, its rich,
its underclass. Wilson's London is a bleak, if occasionally hilarious,
place: murderous, lustful, money-obsessed and haunted by strange gods.
A. N. Wilson was born in 1950 and educated at Rugby and New College,
Oxford. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, he has held a
prominent position in the world of literature and journalism, winning
prizes for much of his work. He lives in North London.
