Description
Eve Ensler, the American playwright (The Vagina Monologues), goes beneath the skin — or should we say orange hair — of US President Donald Trump.
Danish Husain, the Indian storyteller and actor, finds himself telling the story not only of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also of the ascension of Sangh Parivar extremism.
Burhan Sönmez, the Turkish novelist, explores the bewildering career of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Ninotchka Rosca, the Filipina feminist novelist, unravels the macho world of Rodrigo Duterte.
Their essays do not presume to be neutral. They are partisan thinkers, magical writers, people who see not only the monsters but also a future beyond the ghouls.
This small book is a collection of fables. Four brilliant artists and writers confront four strongmen. A future that is necessary. The present is too painful.
