The Satirist: America's Most Critical Book
The Satirist: America's Most Critical Book



The Satirist is an encyclopedic collection of satires, and criticism of imaginary works: books, films, paintings, music. The style is a mix of the high and the low, everything from critiques of imaginary French philosophy to just-for-fun news in the style of American satire such as The Onion or Saturday Night Live.

 Author/comedian Paul Krassner, wrote of The Satirist:
The more blandness and repression there is in any society, the more need there is for irreverence toward those who are responsible for that blandness and repression. The Satirist serves such a purpose with imagination and style.
Satirical targets include US politicians, Hollywood movies, hypocrisy, artistic pretension, and many others:

 Did a great French philosopher, Claude Roger, produce his massive volumes by plagiarizing from his own students?

Was the Soviet dissident Maxim Sazonov the greatest of all Russian poets? Or just a total idiot? Discover Claire Hoyt, "Shrink to the Stars," the psychologist who created the “Inner Victim” movement.

Read reviews of the movies of Jake Steiger, one of the most successful Hollywood directors of the 1990s.

 58 pieces written in diverse genres in 180 (hopefully) laugh-filled pages!

Illustrations by Fred Schellart!
