Ivan Brunetti is inconvenient and annoying as a narrow pant like a mosquito in my ear and it is also painful as a kick in the ass. In his own way Ivan Brunetti is also a genius, very bad. Semi
unknown in Italy (where hardly see him), semi acclaimed in America. Loved and idolized by few, hated and feared by many, with his comic Brunetti is the good and the bad weather knocking on paper all the evil and wickedness of man. The beginning
only serves as a warning as a warning: this book is not politically correct.
Brunetti presents a collection of previously published cartoons accompanied by a handful of unreleased, all scratchy stuff that goes from racism to the extreme sex, from murder to pedophilia. As the subtitle
morality is called into question, but I would say that it is even wiped out. The question to ask is why does this Brunetti hard use and harsh reality? Yeah, apart from some exaggerated cartoon really, there are many things that happen in the book really, maybe in the apartment next to ours. So perhaps that of Brunetti is a reflection on society? Then perhaps Brunetti founded a new thought in political science or sociology? I do not know. Maybe it just takes pleasure in a shocker, and sometimes points to make us laugh with his bitter irony, because in the end it is only a gag.
Be careful if you want to buy such a book I have warned you must be prepared to accept it then you can also laugh, maybe.
