Much like Craig Raine's poem 'Martian Sends A Postcard Home', 'The Humans' is from the point of view of an alien on earth. The human experience is always front and centre of Haig's work, and this novel finds a unique way for an alien to discover what human really means. A hilarious read that makes you want to achieve all that you have meant to.
