Pussy - Thryft

Darkly comic satire, mirroring Trump-era follies.

Imagine holding a mirror up to recent political absurdities, and with Howard Jacobson's biting wit, that mirror becomes a satirical masterpiece. "Pussy" isn't just about laughter; it's a labyrinth of reflections on power, vanity, and the media's role in shaping modern mythology. Dive into its pages, and you'll find more than entertainment – you'll find a sharp, unforgettable commentary on an era that almost defies belief.

Description

Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers. He is idle, boastful, thin-skinned and egotistic; has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words in which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again?
