War with the Newts, by Karel Čapek

droppedImage-3

A great writer of the past who speaks to the present in a voice brilliant, clear, honourable, blackly funny and prophetic. (
Kurt Vonnegut)

My thoughts (hastily scribbled on a postcard):

A fascinating tale, wittily and well told. One feels part of the new history being created, what with all the newspapers and so on. The satire is immaculate. A thoroughly good read.
