Summary
Richard House’s new novel, Monkey Williams, starts in 1985 with a modest heist in rural Nebraska, and ends in 2019 with a global strike, Opt Out, and the rise of an anonymous international protest movement, called Monkey Williams, dedicated to making business and government systems fail. It’s about blood and gold, security and power.

Critics Review
House’s writing is spare and compelling * The Guardian *
A writer at the top of his game * Los Angeles Times *
With a single observation he can give lasting resonance to a few seconds of human awkwardness. House gives us vivid pictures: powerful, bleak, beautiful * Times Literary Supplement *
Dishonest Days made me remember what a novel can be, or what it should be, and has a duty to be … This is our generation’s DeLillo, Pynchon, Bolaño, (I could go on) … A work of genius, by one of the only novelists up to the task. You’ll leave it galvanised – Luke Kennard, author of Black Bag
