Charlie Hill's 'The State of Us': A Provocative Satire on the Human Condition

Birmingham, UK - Award-winning author, Charlie Hill, announces the release of his highly anticipated collection of short stories, "The State of Us." In this thought-provoking satire, Hill invites readers on a journey through the strange social experiments of human beings and their many imperfections.

Hill, who has been interviewed by Mariella Frostrup on BBC Radio 4's Open Book, delivers "tremendous storytelling verve" (Ruth Gilligan) with his unique brand of humour and wit. His writing has been described as "real" by Jim Crace, and his ability to evoke laughter and introspection has earned him a reputation as a master of satire.

From pronouncing the Fuvahmulah island in the Maldives, to describing the absurdities of life in the International Space Station, Hill delivers a thought-provoking commentary on the state of humanity. His stories explore the many facets of human nature and challenge readers to question their own beliefs and values.

"The State of Us" is a collection of tales that are both humorous and poignant, exploring the complexities of human relationships, privilege, and the human condition. It is a book that will leave you reflecting on your own life and the world around you.

The book is published by Fly on the Wall Press and will be available in bookstores and online retailers on April 28, 2023. You can pre-order here.
