What's hot in the media - 3 December 2007Blind Faith is the latest novel by author, playwright and stand-up comic Ben Elton. This story is set in a society of religiously intolerant, sex-obsessed navel-gazers.Published 7 December, 2007 
Blind Faith is the latest novel by author, playwright and stand-up comic Ben Elton. This story is set in a society of religiously intolerant, sex-obsessed navel-gazers. People are barely dressed (nudity is the new modesty) and all moments of sexual intimacy are posted onto the community website for all to see. Blind Faith's protagonist Trafford Sewell is in trouble with the Parish Confessor. It seems he has failed to post details of his sexual life online. Most Mentioned in the Media This Week:
2 Gentlemen of the Road: A Tale of Adventure by Michael Chabon 3 Graham Greene: A Life in Letters edited by Richard Greene 4 House in Fez, A by Suzanna Clarke 5 Rebel Journalism: The Writings of Wilfred Burchett by George Burchett and Nick Shimmin
