“Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.”
― Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels
This new Gulliver's Travels page was made especially for Laura and her reading group. 💙
Question. Who do you consider the best modern-day satirist?
This is one of the popular CraftLit novels that we still sometimes see people searching for.
While this book is polarizingly funny, do expect some harsh, biting satire in this read. It is, without a doubt, a critique of human nature and politics. And it's great.
(It'll also explain why Jack Black peed on a building in the Gulliver's Travels movie. Eyup.)
This book is split into four parts (or voyages). We'll start with part one and make our way through the book.
PART I. A VOYAGE TO LILLIPUT
