| Description: | The lifestyles of strange characters in a made-up European location are the focus of this satirical comedy book. The wit, colourful language, and dialogue-based style of Firbank’s writing all work together to highlight the ridiculousness of society rules and customs. He uses a sequence of short stories and scenes to create a striking image of a society in which social mores are both distorted and violated. An enjoyable book for those who enjoy satire and unique storytelling. [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Firbank, Ronald
Ronald Firbank (1886-1926) was an English novelist. He was an astute writer who was a master of dialogue with a vicious wit that moved his characters through fantastical and mythological settings. His unconventional approach to writing had a clear influence on future English writers such as Evelyn Waugh and Ivy Compton-Burnett. (Benet's Encyclopedia for Readers)
