No room for humor

(5 Sterne)

The modern audience demands all literature be a discourse on the evils of capitalism and endemic injustice created by white males. The fact the author wrote an entire book without referencing the evils created by the binary gendered dichotomy just shows how Raycyst everyone was back then.

A LITTLE WIT, SOME HUMOR, A LOT OF STRANGE

(3 Sterne)

I think that I will skip the remaining volumes.
