| 520 | |a This article argues that Graham Swift’s novel Last Orders addresses profound moral questions about what constitutes a person. The article takes its lead from John Habgood’s question, “How complete does a human being have to be in order to qualify morally as a person?” and also draws on insights from other theologians to analyze the moral perspective of the novel.
