![]() ![]() If you like Terry Pratchett and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and books that are definitely not at all a critique of our own society, you will love The Splendid City. ![]() Everyone is happy and satisfied and no one is complaining, and not just because anyone who does complain disappears forever. This book is absurd and funny and not at all disturbing because EVERYTHING IS FINE, JUST ASK THE ANIMATRONIC PRESIDENT HEADS LINING EVERY SIDEWALK. There’s a treasure hunt, a search for a missing witch, and a lot of assurances that everything is fine, just fine, don’t dig beneath the surface it’s all FINE. Stan, the talking cat who loves beer, fish tacos, and shooting people, is a narcissistic internet troll who’s convinced he’s the hero of this story. Exiled to Liberty is a witch named Eleanor, forced into house arrest with her vile ex-coworker, Stan, who she turned into a cat. ![]() In a world not too far off from our own, Texas has declared itself its own country and the state of Liberty is governed by a President who insists everything is fine because there are parades and candy and sure there’s a water shortage, but his citizens are happy, even the ones who are taken away by government vans never to be seen again. ![]()
