Boris The Potato Child

This final book in Anne Simons Tales of Marylene trilogy after The Song of Aglaia and Empress Cixtisis, Boris the Potato Child delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles, Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia but crafted with a Swiftian pen thats mightier than any mans sword.
