Breaking Wind: An Indispensable Guide to Chinese Fartology

by Dai Pei, Hope Barrett (Narrator)

Yuanfen, translated into English as “fateful coincidence”, may be better understood as those three romantic ‘meant to be.’ After centuries of study, the Chinese know the gods to be pranksters and oftentimes downright mean, so that ‘meant to be’ does not ever mean ‘happily ever after’ but, well, ‘meant to be.’ Breaking Wind answers not only who-did-it in a room suddenly engulfed in parfum du rotten eggs, but teaches its reader the value of constipation. Where other astrology books try to lull the reader into a sense of safety that all signs are in some way compatible, this work will not promote such falsehoods. This book is not only anal, it openly studies the human wartology of human behaviour, advocates for the animal segregation of certain astrological signs, and believes wholeheartedly in the art of making good choices by using one’s discrimination after getting all the facts. Biting (because there are Dogs and Tigers in the mix), funny (maybe), and occasionally jaw-dropping (real-life gets you every time), this book offers real life model studies of why certain signs are a no-no and others are a from Donald Trump to Princess Diana and the next generation of 'look at mes'.
