"The Last Love Story" by Rodney Hall. [review - radio script]

Abstract

"The Last Love Story" is Rodney Hall’s latest novel, subtitled "A Fairytale of the Day After Tomorrow." It’s a fable set in a city divided along economic lines which have become religious and ideological. The residents of the poor north defiantly assert their independence, and ring themselves with landmines to keep the enemy out, only to find that they also prevent their own escape. This city could be anywhere: it corresponds to nowhere in particular.
