Read for the PopSugar Challenge 2019
47.Two books that share the same title (1)
A satire of moral relativism and progressive politics that could've been written just yesterday. This novel starring Miles Plastic as the product of an absurdly conceived welfare state, is drenched in sarcasm and wit.
Waugh shows a world where criminals are rewarded in plush housing and comfortable lives, with assured jobs for the government, where contraception, sterilization and euthanasia are widespread, the latter being desired even "for difficult children".
The classical Greek style illustrations add a particular oddness to the book.
Next book to be paired with this one is Robert Clark's [b:Love Among the Ruins|358695|Love Among the Ruins|Robert Clark|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320397269i/358695._SY75_.jpg|348823]
