Fiction

What if Pinocchio and Jesus are the same?

What if all that you know about Shakespeare is wrong?

Is being blind and rich worth it?

Is the world run by a satanic Mouse cult?

What is the secret link between the Grimm brothers and Nazism?

This book will change your life… provided you read it. Why? It shall show you how humour can adopt the most bizarre shapes ever, whilst in the process helping your mind to look at the world in the most original ways. Interwoven with pearls of mystical-esoteric-alchemical wisdom, this book is an homage to the meta-loving mind, creating worlds within worlds with a common thread: humour and an irreverent attitude with the pedantic and intellectual approach to life and the universe.

Like someone once never said: this is like Borges on acid. Or Rumi on nothing.

A tour-de-force through the magical delirious realism that only a naturally perturbed mind can conjure. And a read that will perfectly suit those who love to have their brains (and spirits) tickled.

A smoothie made with the best (and the worst) of: Gurdjieff, Borges, Shakespeare, Brothers Grimm, Wilde, Shaw, Monty Python, Community, David Foster Wallace, Rumi, Hafiz, Sedaris, Chappelle, Lynch, Ouspensky, Bennett, Frost… and many more.
