Really awesome here in Dada-Germany – A book by Claudio Casula, personally signed

Mockery and satire are coping mechanisms. They make room for laughter and snickering that would otherwise be filled with anger, despair, and disgust. Claudio Casula has succeeded over four years in collecting the real existing madness in this country without going mad himself. He shows readers how it's done: with jabs, winks, gossip, and satirical nastiness, he reveals the absurd monstrosities of the system.

This creates parables of an otherwise incomprehensible time, in which wit and truth, reality and absurdity fluidly merge. Casula is a Till Eulenspiegel, holding up to the "aristocracy" of know-it-alls and the presumptuous, the incompetent and the ideologues the antithesis of their vain self-image: it is the farce and grotesqueness of their existence and the stupidity of their behavior.

This refreshingly cheerful view of a "pig system" wallowing in its complacency and arrogance brings joy and courage, which the citizens of this country will need.
