  • You appreciate the roots of surrealist and absurdist humour that influenced decades of comedy and art.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer stories with clear plots, character development, and narrative resolution.
  • You find made-up words and invented creatures frustrating rather than charming.
  • You're looking for something substantial: this is 46 pages of verse, read in one sitting.
