Description
The Magic Christian by Terry Southern Sixty years after its initial publication, this darkly comedic novel by Terry Southern remains as biting and relevant today as it was in the 1960s. A satire of American society's obsession with bigness, toughness, TV, guns, and money, The Magic Christian follows a billionaire who will stop at nothing to prove his theory that there is nothing so degrading or distasteful that someone won't do for money. With its wickedly original humor and searing social commentary, this novel continues to expose the darker aspects of human nature. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in satire and social critique, The Magic Christian is a hilarious and thought-provoking read that will leave you questioning the excesses of modern society. Published in 2019 as part of the Grove Atlantic's anniversary edition series, this re-release brings Southern's classic work to a new generation of readers.
