At the Guardian, John Mullan named ten of the best deserts in literature.One novel on the list:
Dune by Frank HerbertRead about all ten deserts on Mullan's list.
This sci-fi epic is set on the planet of Arrakis and realises a whole desert world. Herbert's characters may be unconvincing, but his sandy planet, with its sandtrout, sandplankton and giant sandworms , is vividly imagined.
