Lionel Shriver

Author

Lionel Shriver is an American author who lives in London and is known for her provocative, intellectually fearless fiction and commentary. She won the Orange Prize for Fiction for We Need to Talk About Kevin, which was adapted into a film starring Tilda Swinton. Mania is her novel exploring a near-future society where intelligence... differences have been abolished by social fiat — a sharp, provocative satire about equality, conformity, and the consequences of suppressing uncomfortable truths. Shriver's fiction is characterised by its intellectual daring and its willingness to challenge received opinion. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers sharp, provocative literary fiction that takes on the big questions — novels that make you think, argue, and question your assumptions.
