Book Reviews of Black Mischief
Book Review: The Funniest Politically-Incorrect Novel of All Time!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the funniest politically-incorrect novel of all time--OF ALL TIME!! It is the perfect, refreshing tonic to the age of anodyne sterility in which we now live.
Summary of Black Mischief
Black Mischief, " Waugh's third novel, helped to establish his reputation as a master satirist. Set on the fictional African island of Azania, the novel chronicles the efforts of Emperor Seth, assisted by the Englishman Basil Seal, to modernize his kingdom. Profound hilarity ensues from the issuance of homemade currency, the staging of a "Birth Control Gala, " the rightful ruler's demise at his own rather long and tiring coronation ceremonies, and a good deal more mischief.Literary Books
