Satire State
Satire State: Dispatches from the Obedient Republic by Christina di PensareWhat if democracy didn't die in darkness-but in daylight, with polite applause and a standing ovation? In this searing collection of satirical fables, Christina di Pensare takes aim at the absurdities of authoritarianism disguised as order, obedience, and patriotic performance.With sharp wit and dark hilarity, di Pensare issues a series of dispatches from the Obedient Republic -each more chilling, absurd, and uncomfortably familiar than the last-that chart the bureaucratic banality of modern authoritarianism. In the Obedient Republic, citizens nod hourly, perform thrice-daily nationally-mandated splits, and wear matching crutches in solidarity with their Supreme Leader's stubbed toe.No feeling is safe. No metaphor is approved. No citizen is taller than the President.From ministries that ban cutlery and metaphors, to trials for teenagers who dared to moon the Presidential motorcade, Satire State conjures a nation teetering on the edge of madness-one bureaucratic decree at a time. Reminiscent of the dark irony of Jonathan Swift, the gallows humor of George Saunders, and the prophetic sting of George Orwell, these dispatches read like parody-until they don't. These aren't warnings from the future. They're funhouse reflections of the present. Satire State is laugh-out-loud funny-until it isn't.
MURDER in the Pays d'Oc
READ ALL ABOUT IT! The early evening sun gilds the ancient stone steps as they wind round past the church to the river. Only one thing mars this tranquil scene: the body of Gaspard Petit, as he lies twisted at the bottom of the steps, his neck bent at an impossible angle. His open eyes stare up into the unseeing sky. A tragic accident? Or could it be murder?
Rescue
Mac, special ops veteran, and his new wife Jennie are hunted by longtime enemies, and lead the attackers on a long, dangerous chase across the country. Back at Jennie's school her friend Celena writes code that pretends to predict stock prices. When the fraud is discovered, Celena is thrown out of school and sent home to Venezuela. Philip then re-writes the code as a big-data project that legitimately attempts to predict stock prices. Leonard from Chicago wants that software. Leonard gets what he wants, and he takes Philip hostage. Phillip's life will be short when Leonard finds that the software does not work. Mac and Jennie are hired to protect Philip, and must rescue him... and Celena, now held hostage in Venezuela.
There's a PIG in the Sky
When a Curious girl and her Pig named Pickels visit a hot air Balloon Festival - an unexpected visit begins-proving that even the smallest friends can reach great heights.
Pavlov's Dog
The only acting credit on the back of Stan Pavlov's headshot is "appeared in court". But one day, his life takes an unexpected change - for the worse - when his beloved Dog inadvertently gets cast in the commercial Stan was auditioning for. Pavlov's Dog moves to L.A. and ascends to stardom: The Royal Shakespeare Company, an animated series, a late-night talk show. Stan quits. He has flushed acting out of his system, until...The Dog, sick and broke, needs money for an operation (having blown all his on chew toys and bitches). To raise cash, Stan grudgingly agrees to become a prime-time game-show host.Stan finds that everything he ever wanted - money, fame, attention - is not actually what he really wanted. Trashing hotel rooms, robbing banks, punching fans who don't want to take his picture can't erase the simple truth: there is no loneliness quite as profound as a man separated from his dog. David Kurman's brilliant social satire is a hilarious look at the absurdity and fickleness of modern fame.

He was orphaned as a kid but slipped through the social services cracks and wound up living alone, raising himself. He's not stupid or mentally challenged but his grammar and vocabulary remain stunted. These books are written in his simple, uneducated voice. As with Huck Finn, sometimes that's funny. In Jumper III, our hero is thrust into the completely alien (to him) world of professors of English Literature and their feud about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays. While navigating those dark and mysterious waters, Jumper tries to find a stray dog's home and solve a murder.

How to Leave the House
A New Yorker Best Book of the Year "It may sound peculiar that a story featuring chapter-length text message exchanges and a hysterical egg fight during a gender reveal party could contain such potent, moving allusions to philosophy and James Joyce, let alone be filled with richly observed artistic references reminiscent of Ali Smith, but Newman weaves the analytical and the absurd with a raucous grace. . .Profound--and profoundly sidesplitting." --Bobby Finger, The New York Times Book Review It's Natwest's last day before he leaves for university, and there's only one thing on his mind: the deeply embarrassing package he ordered to his house--which still hasn't arrived. He won't leave town without it. Any alternative is too distressing to consider. . . This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of Natwest, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of the missing package. And yet it's also the story of a middle-aged dentist who dreams of being a respected artist--but the only thing he can seem to paint is the human mouth. And it's the story of a tortured imam involved in a quasi-romantic entanglement with the local vicar; and an octogenerian mourning the death of her secretive husband; and a troubled teenager whose nudes have leaked on the internet. It's the story of Natwest's obnoxious ex-boyfriend, and his class-traitor mother and her childhood boyfriend, and the life-changing secrets he knows about Natwest's past. Alternating between Natwest's idiosyncratic inner world and the perspectives of the other characters--and dazzling in its energy, imagination and originality--this is an outrageously funny and tenderly moving story about being connected to everyone and everything at all times; about love, friendship, and the lies we tell ourselves; about unhappy endings, happy endings--and whether anything really is as simple as one or the other.
