Synopsis

Last Orders is a 1996 novel by British writer Graham Swift. The book won the 1996 Booker Prize. In 2001, it was adapted for the film Last Orders by Australian writer and director Fred Schepisi. The plot and style are influenced by William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. In June 1996, Swift declared that it was a homage to Faulkner's book but there were various differences.
