Today for the first time ever, I am posting a guest review. The original link for this review will be listed below. The review done by PSI was outstanding and I can’t wait to pick this book up and read it for myself in the near future.
Review: Appearances can be deceptive. As in life, as in literature. Pauline Chakmakjian’s fascinating new book cleverly employs the uncomplicated literary idiom of the fable to reveal how science and technology is cunningly deployed against us by the state.
The Sphinxing Rabbit: Her Sovereign Majesty is no less a sobering premonition than George’s Orwell’s Animal Farm when you understand just how relatable the story is to our current trials and tribulations, including the coronavirus pandemic.
This is despite the beautiful illustrations by Nilesh Mistry, which on every page deliver a cornucopia of vibrant color otherwise soothing on the eye but cannot disguise how much the book stokes nightmarish themes not sweet dreams.
This is literature to inform and educate with a stark warning of a cold, dark future for the masses that sleep while devilish dogs steal our freedoms.
This modern take on Aesop’s fables is a wakeup call and we all know of the sphinx from mythology: creature with the head of a person and the body of an animal (more commonly a lion) the embodiment of a person who keeps his/her thoughts and intentions secret.
The ingenuity of The Sphinxing Rabbit: Her Sovereign Majesty is already fittingly described as:
“Deceptively simple in appearance yet heavy in content, the Sphinxing Rabbit series of books starting with Her Sovereign Majesty aims to communicate tenets of freedom in an entertaining manner as opposed to complex, intellectual discourse, which has already been attempted many times in history, but to little avail. Moreover, each book alludes to a few famous works of art.”
