A review by slippy_underfoot
The Hopkins Manuscript by R.C. Sherriff

5.0

Fascinating book. Written in the 30s, it purports to be the journal of a priggish, petty, Englishman detailing the years following a cataclysm which destroyed Europe. It is unearthed several hundred years later by the new, largely eastern civilisation, frustrated that the only surviving document is from such a small-minded, dull, man while also enjoying the end of European empire building and colonisation. Funny and dark.
