Wildly funny, outrageously satirical, and utterly unpredictable — The Throwback by Tom Sharpe is a riotous comedy of science gone wrong and family madness. When a well-meaning scientist tries to resurrect his ancestor through an ill-advised experiment, the result is chaos of prehistoric proportions.
What emerges is not a quiet man of the past but a violent, unreasonable caveman dropped into modern society. As destruction follows wherever he goes, Sharpe delights readers with slapstick humor, sharp satire, and outrageous characters.
The novel skewers modern values, blind scientific ambition, and social pretensions through scenes of comic disaster. With Tom Sharpe’s trademark exaggeration and pacing, the story becomes a whirlwind of absurdity.
