The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil

The best selling author of the New York Times, Bardot's Mann Booker award winning novel "Lincoln" and the collection of the tenth story of December, the final selection of the 2013 National Book Award novels remained

In a very strange country where there is only a single resident at a time, citizens waiting to enter the country at Inner Horner triggered a series of unfair and extensive hysteria, a force-hungry tyranny It belongs to the rule of Phil.

This is an animal farm in the 21st century, an imaginative rich and familiar with humor and political satire, and all people are hysterically active. This novel has been written for over six years, beautifully packed and beautifully packed.

Phil's short and bad rule (he calls "terrible") is a dreamlike fairy tale that twists and rots. It tells the plight of the inhabitants of Nerhorna called "a small country that can accommodate only one citizen at a time". The other six citizens must wait for turn around in the short-term residential area of ​​surrounding infinity. As already in the center of their merciful surrounding forces, the inner Hornerites give anger of increasingly frustrated people when they sink deep into their small parcels.

This leads us to George Sanders - a best satirist, his fourth book, a short and awful rule of Phil, and a thorough study of politics since 9/11. Sanders created two interesting story sets, Bad Decline and Pastoralia's CivilWarLand, and adult children's novels, Fappers of Frip. Among his best stories, Sanders keep on repeating the same topic: narrator, usually a man is working to crush terrible souls, confront his family, he likes and wants to protect is. He can not give up this absurd job, because the happiness of this family depends entirely on where he stays.

But when Sanders began to solve real world events, his spell flashes. Political arguments such as "Short and terrible domination of Phil" and "Red bow" like George W. Bush era are weak humor and are too transparent in communication. ("Red Bow" is Orwell 's fable, it is thought that the next dog killed the child, kill all the mice, all the birds, all the fish, all objects and kill them too. In the story of Sanders, they need to release absurdity and illusions.
