Penguins and Goof Gas
This week, while the world continues to burn, the propagandists extolling their Mediocrity, I'll set aside my raging essay pen, and making like Nero — I'll fiddle for you.
A six-minute meta-fictional sonata — in the key of a pseudo-biographical magic-realism historical-fantasy social-commentary fable.
Part One.
Hope you enjoy.
