New novel from James Meek

British author James Meek has a new novel, We Are Now Beginning Our Descent, out in the UK. The Guardian thinks highly enough of the book to review it twice, here and here. (The Independent also ran a great profile of Meek this week.) Having thoroughly enjoyed his last book, The People's Act of Love (one of the very best books I've read this century), I can't wait for the new one to come out in the U.S.
