Ian Duhig's The Speed of Dark is structured around his astonishing reworking of 'Le Roman de Fauvel', a medieval text that railed against the corruption of the 12th-century French court and church. In Duhig's hands, however, the tale of the power-mad horse-king Fauvel gains a terrifying and almost prophetic contemporary relevance.
