Synopsis
We live with the idea of sin every day – from the greatest transgressions to the tiniest misdemeanours. But surely the concept was invented for an age where divine retribution and eternal punishment dominated the collective consciousness?
In this lively collection of new writing, Nicola Barker, Dylan Evans, David Flusfeder, Todd McEwen, Martin Rowson, John Sutherland and Ali Smith go head to head with the capital vices to explore what we really mean when we talk about sin. The resulting mixture of erudite and playful essays and startling new fiction might not make you a better person, but it will certainly give you pause for thought when you’re next laying the law down or – heaven forfend – about to do something beyond the pale yourself.

Product Description
In this lively and provocative collection of new writing, seven writers and philosophers tackle the seven deadly sins as formulated by Pope Gregory I: sloth, wrath, envy, gluttony, greed, lust and vanity. Among the essayists, John Sutherland takes on wrath; novelist Nicola Barker entitles her piece on vanity 'Young versus Old'; and political cartoonist Martin Rowson offers a graphic strip cartoon on gluttony.
Review
'It needn't be a guilty pleasure to enjoy reading these entertaining, educative pieces about the thin line between virtue and vice.'
(New Review (Observer))'Elegant...Sharp and amusing... This is often NSFT (not safe for trains) laugh-out-loud stuff (lol), but also as multi-layered and thought-provoking as some of the more conventionally structured work that precedes it.'
(Keith Bruce Herald)‘An enticing and beautifully illustrated collection.’
