Description

This small book is a collection of fables. Four brilliant artists and writers confront four strongmen.

Eve Ensler, the American playwright (The Vagina Monologues), goes beneath the skin - or should we say orange hair - of US President Donald Trump.

Danish Husain, the Indian storyteller and actor, finds himself telling us the story not only of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also of the ascension of the extremism of the Sangh Parivar.

Burhan Sonmez, the Turkish novelist, ferrets about amidst the bewildering career of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Ninotchka Rosca, the Filipina feminist novelist, unravels the macho world of Rodrigo Duterte.

Their essays do not presume to be neutral. They are partisan thinkers, magical writers, people who see not only the monsters but also a future beyond the ghouls.

A future that is necessary. The present is too painful.
