Adams schrijfwerk duikt in de complexiteit van de menselijke psyche en relaties, waarbij hij vaak treffende metaforen en scherpzinnige taal gebruikt. Zijn verhalen kenmerken zich door een diepe diepgang en een introspectieve benadering die lezers meeneemt in de ingewikkelde innerlijke werelden van zijn personages. Adams werken navigeren behendig tussen de grenzen van realiteit en droomachtige visioenen, waardoor een unieke sfeer ontstaat vol spanning en ambiguïteit. Zijn kenmerkende poëtische stijl en originele perspectief maken hem tot een belangrijke stem in de hedendaagse literatuur.
Feeding Time, the debut novel by Paris-based writer Adam Biles, is a story about a rebellion in an old people's home - or perhaps, more pertinently, about a rebellion of people who just happen to be old. The characters in Feeding Time are as funny, annoying, sharp, deranged, loving, and infinitely various as everyone else. They deserve dignity, and they know it - which makes it all the more imperative that something is done about the appalling conditions in Green Oaks.
Manor Farm has reinvented itself as the South of England's premium petting zoo. Now, instead of a working farm, humans and beasts alike are invited (for a small fee) to come and stroke, fondle, and take rides on the farm's inhabitants. But life is not a bed of roses for the animals, in spite of what their leaders may want them to believe. Elections are rigged, the community is beset by factions, and sacred mottos are being constantly updated. The Farm is descending into chaos. What's more, a mysterious 'illness' has started ripping through the animals, killing them one by one... In Beasts of England, Adam Biles honours, updates and subverts George Orwell's classic, all the while channelling the chaotic, fragmentary nature of populist politics in the Internet age into a savage farmyard satire.
