Literary Exploration discussion

Hi all

I adored Life of Pi if that means anything.

I think this group is a good match for my first novel, Pangamonium, being launched in one week:

Synopsis:
Pangamonium is a comic novel that parodies travel adventure stories and satirises globalisation. It is a tongue-in-cheek adventure romp, a mock epic. Francis is a journalist looking for a big story in the tiny kingdom of Panga. He finds himself attempting to liberate a bunch of child slaves making sex toys for the West. Toss in an African pilgrim named Easter on a quest to find his grandfather's grave filled with pirate gold, a military regime oppressing the citizens of Panga, and a Bollywood romance - pandemonium ensues.

I wrote the book for a PhD, so it is definitely literary, though it also mocks literary conventions. For the true eggheads out there, my exegesis of the novel is also being published as an ebook, and can be easily found on my Goodreads page.

Thanks
Zanesh

Thats not how this group works. We vote for both the theme and book.

Apologies for implying any agenda setting, something I did not intend. I should have said that my writing and reading interests seem more sympathetic with this group's interests than many others on GR.
