Die Känguru Chroniken
Die Känguru Chroniken by Mark Uwe Kling — 2009
Amusing satire about a communist kangaroo living together with the self-insert character of the author.
Note: I listened to a recorded live-reading by the author.
This book has been recommended to me many times by people within my social circles. However, I found many of the jokes were not to my taste. I laughed a lot and don’t regret reading it, but some jokes had a pretty strong political bend to them which I didn’t like. I’m not at all opposed to political satire or commentary, but for example I don’t see how collecting and trading autographs of Red Army Faction members is supposed to be funny.
