Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban
#4
Apparently it's not as popular as I thought. My perspective may be warped from working in bookstores. It's a post-apocalyptic tale in England, where their chief entertainment (religion?) is a Punch and Judy like puppet show. All told in an invented dialect.

My copy had an afterword by David Mitchell who called it a favorite book, and an inspiration for the middle section of Cloud Atlas.
