The End Of The World Is Flat

[TheCountessofFitzdotterel]

Anyone else read this?

It’s by Simon Edge and is a satire on something very familiar…

The premise is that a small campaigning charity achieves all its goals so rather than wind the charity up and make all the staff redundant it takes on a new cause, promoting belief in a flat earth.

I am about a quarter through, so far very funny and sharp and I am enjoying it very much as I think many people on here would.

The Kindle edition is out and is not expensive.

Amazon link though I think you can order from the publisher too.

This sounds good. It will need smarter people than me to explain how gender woo gained any traction at all. I find it hard to believe that anytime anyone said in conversation "you know what, I think a man can become a women just by saying he is" that everyone else said anything other than "you what mate, have gone fucking mental or what?"

out of curiosity I just read the few negative reviews-

It's very interesting that this "satire" of gender ideology sounds incredibly anti semetic. A tech billionaire, is it? Yeah, interesting.

I mean really? so a tech billionaire is Jewish? says more about the reviewer than the author. But never turn down a chance to defame the TERFs eh?

and

A struggle to wade through. It is for a very particular audience - those who like unseasoned chicken with a side of mayonnaise.

I'm not even sure what this is meant to mean. Is mayonnaise a bad thing? or chicken?

The reviewer hasn't read it.

(spoiler)

The tech billionaire is of Spanish heritage and it's plot relevant.

The chicken and mayo, who knows? I have seen similar as a light hearted way of teasing white people for stereotypically bland/unseasoned white people food.

Agree @TirisfalPumpkin - either hasn't read it or has an agenda (surely not? 🙄)

He does explain why in the Afterword though

What a hilariously dim review that first one is. Having a tech billionaire character in your book makes you anti-Semitic, regardless of whether or not that character is Jewish?!
