Sarcasm

About this book

Sarcasm rejects grand introductions and invites the reader directly into a set of comic adventures that refuse to take themselves too seriously. Ramy Fakhry mixes spy fiction, science fiction, parody, and black comedy: an Egyptian intelligence agent encounters an alien, the fate of humanity becomes entangled with school supplies, and familiar figures from fantasy wander through Cairo neighborhoods. Beneath the deliberately outrageous plots is a satirical view of ordinary contradictions and social chaos. The collection is for readers who enjoy intelligent humor, unexpected premises, and stories that begin precisely where conventional logic ends.
