4.0 out of 5 stars
A witty and wicked satire of world Trotskyism.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Redemption (Hardcover)
I recently bought a second-hand copy of this book and read it while travelling from London to New York. At certain points I was laughing so much that the stewardess was concerned for my health. I had no real idea of the inner world of a Trotskyist sect and in between the laughs I did wonder whether the author had gone too far. I am a subscriber to the New Left Review and found the chapter headed "New Life Journal" very entertaining, though I couldn't help feeling that a roman a clef of this sort probably appeals more to those already in the know. Since Trotskyism was very weak in my own country (Italy) I did not appreciate all the humour, but a book to lighten the spirits. One question did bother me. Is it physiologically possible for a man to lactate in extremis or this just Ali-humour?
