Political Satire

Twice a week, the president pilots his ultraluxury airship Trump Sky Alpha (seats start at $50,000), delivering, as he travels between D.C., New York City, and Mar-a-Lago, a streaming YouTube address to the nation, in which he trumpets his successes and blasts his enemies - until the day his words plunge the world into nuclear war. One year later, with 90 percent of the world's population destroyed, a journalist named Rachel has taken refuge in the Twin Cities Metro Containment Zone.

Once upon a time in what was then reasonably Great Britain, there was a world in which the not too serious business of politics was practised without those people known today, nonsensically, as spin doctors, and without whispers against those who were supposed to be friends, but who were in fact blockages on the ladder of ambition. This audiobook is a wistful recollection of those days. None of it actually happened. But it would be nice to think that it might have.

The landscape of Washington, DC, is in shambles. The Randolph Powers administration has wreaked a special flavor of havoc that has threatened the very foundation of America.

Assassination in Santo Domingo is a combination of political satire and action/adventure taking place in the Dominican Republic, a banana republic with a blotchy history of dictators and military takeovers.

Fulford College is broke. In a desperate attempt to keep its doors open, the Florida based college joins forces with the Mafia to establish a scholarship program.

A Roma, nei dintorni del 1968, la rivoluzione ha il brivido di febbraio, la faccia di Mao e le note di Bandiera rossa eseguita da Claudio Villa. Gli insorti locali hanno intanto conquistato una rinomata trattoria del circondario, "L'Antico Girarrosto", dunque anche Velletri sta per capitolare. Peccato, proprio lì stava per aprirsi il banchetto di nozze di Serena e Canio, ragazzi di quartiere, appassionati di Drupi. Tra gli invitati, accanto a papà Stelvio, anche una maga di "sapienza etnisca" e Athanor, dobermann di provata lede neofascista, amatissimo dalla sposina.

In 1938, Hitler visits Italy. An expatriate Irish art historian is obliged to guide Mussolini and his guest around the galleries. Half fascinated, half repelled, he watches the tyrants, wrestling with the uneasy conviction that he ought to use the opportunity to "do something" about them yet lacking the zeal that might transform misgivings into action. Thirty years later, his daughter comes across a compromising clipping showing her father with the dictators.

President Trump has just been inaugurated for the second time. The students at Upstate College are not happy. Led by one charismatic person of color of African Indigenous pan-Asian descent who is a differently abled Muslim atheist, they obliterate the college experience forever.

Donald Trump does not want you to listen to his (totally unauthorized and fictional) diary and learn about his "secret identity". We see a narcissist. But he sees a ninja. Trump Ninja.

El panorama de la minería en España y los graves desequilibrios sociales en nuestra sociedad actual son los temas que aborda Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa con su excelente prosa en Bimini.
