β¦ Synopsis
HIS FIRST NOVEL FOR GROWNUPS From that most dramatically dual of literary personalities, writing not in his classic Π²ΠΡChocolate FactoryΠ²ΠΡ incarnation but as the devilish Dahl of Kiss Kiss and Switch Bitch Π²Πβ here is the ultimate adult romp. Behold Uncle Oswald, Michelangelo of seduction. He makes Casanova look like Winnie the Pooh. He stumbles Π²Πβ circa 1919 Π²Πβ onto the worldΠ²Πβ’s most powerful aphrodisiac: Powdered Sudanese Blister Beetle. it makes Spanish Fly look like Ovaltine. Then he discovers a method of quick-freezing sperm . . . and gets the most imspired commercial idea in history. First he makes a list of the 51 living geniuses and crowned heads (from young James Joyce and King Albert of the Belgians to Puccini and Henry Ford) whom your average very rich and ambitious woman might most want to father her children. Then he retains the half-Persian, ineffably beautiful (and insatiable) biology student Yasmin to personally administer Blister Beetle to each of the famous 51 and, during each incredible aftermath, to collect the priceless essence of fatherhood for freezing. Well . As we follow Yasmin across Europe Π²Πβ from Genius to Genius and Royal to Royal Π²Πβ amazing scenes take place. George Bernard ShawΠ²Πβ’s ultimate secret is revealed. Freud is utterly bewildered. Picasso doesnΠ²Πβ’t even put down his paintbrush . . . How does Yasmin gain access to the great? Which of Them is interestingly activated by the Beetle Pill: King Alfonso? Proust? Kipling perhaps? Who will ultimately make a fortune from the scheme? And will the world be incresingly populated (and, of course, enhanced) by the secret progeny and grand-progeny, ad infinitum, of the dazzling 51? These are only a few of the questions answered in a book in which you encounter Π²Πβ under quite extraordinary circumstances Π²Πβ just about everybody who was anybody you might like to have had for your dad.
