A dark, dystopian portrait of artists struggling to resist violent suppression-queer, English, a masterpiece. (Hilton Als)Set amid the rolling hills and the sandy shingle beaches of coastal Sussex, this disquieting novel depicts an England in which bland conformity is the terrifying order of the day. Violent gangs roam the country destroying art and culture and brutalizing those who resist the purge. As the menacing They creep ever closer, a loosely connected band of dissidents attempt to evade the chilling mobs, but its only a matter of time until their luck runs out.Winner of the 1977 South-East Arts Literature Prize, Kay Dicks They is an uncanny and prescient vision of a world hostile to beauty, emotion, and the individual.
