Opis

'The Prettiest Snake in Hell' may be the most outrageous political satire you've ever encountered. Set in the future, it follows the adventures in Hell of characters who now strut the political stage in America. They're rubbing elbows with the Emperor Nero, Niccolo Machiavelli, and other unsavory characters from the past. Contemporary targets of this satire include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Planned Parenthood, and the legion of political and academic hucksters who promote global warming paranoia as "settled science." The story also features Sacred Prince Obama, a talking snake and Hell's most prominent deity, and Hellarodham, consort of Satan and Queen of Hell. Three hundred pages of political satire could get kind of tiresome. So 'The Prettiest Snake in Hell' is also a comic opera, a spiritual allegory, a love story, and a science fiction tale.
