Pastrami Faced Racist & Other Verses

Undeterred by the embarrassing success of his ridiculous four-volume verse epic The Limerickiad, award-winning cartoonist Martin Rowson continues to lower the tone with a series of metrical rants and cautionary tales about contemporary political and literary life. Accompanied by the ghosts of Chesterton, Shelley, Burns and Browning, Rowson casts his gaze across the satirical spectrum from governments, gammon-faced racists, class war and the harsh realities of child rearing to the world of literary festivals, international book fairs, best-sellers, book launches, holiday reading lists, bottom lines, liggers, bloggers, blaggers, book-signings and book-burnings.
