'gruesome, intense and strange ... a Eurozone nightmare brought to life on the page' Financial Times. 'The Last Man Standing is set to be one of the best novels this year' SFX. 'With mesmerising control of language, Longo weaves a tale that will leave readers with much to think about long after they have put it down' The Irish Examiner. 'this is a complex and compelling investigation of the behaviour of survival' TLS. 'a totally unique novel that blends despair with hope and angst with serenity so well that it deserves to be held in similar high esteem. An inspiring read' We Love This Book. 'We suspect that Davide Longo is the most talented and intense Italian novelist of his generation' Valentina Pigmei, G.Q. 'Longo has succeeded in crafting a shimmering parable' Maike Albath, Suddeutsche Zeitung. 'The depiction of civilisation's end is terrifyingly convincing ...
