"[Solanas] was a militant feminist who, in my opinion, had some incredible ideas. Everybody called her insane because the ideas are pretty violent. [The book] pretty much says women should rule the earth, and I agree with it."

The most insane, ridiculous and hilarious book you'll read
Wow. Just wow. Reading this book will make you feel quite queer at the same time laugh your head off. It's not every day an African American author uses satire to recommend bringing back segregation and slavery. It is absolutely hilarious and a little bit borderline disturbing. Dickens is a ghetto in disrepair, and the narrator's idea of renovating the town and 'putting it on the map' is to change it sociologically. With insane consequences. Brilliant book, well deserved of the Man Booker Prize 2016.
