  Man Who Has It All

  An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards. 
   
  Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's t-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law and male drivers? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the 24-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control. 
   
  Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.

  What readers are saying about Gone to Pieces: 
  'A modern-day Bell Jar'

  ‘This was a really unusual read but loved it … Thoroughly enjoyable and unique book’ 
  ‘I loved that it’s based on a middle-aged woman struggling with her mental health as I don’t think this is covered often. I found Rebecca to be a really likable character and I was really rooting for her the whole way through.’

  If I were The Devil 2030 -...

  In 1965, Paul Harvey, a voice resonant with prophetic insight, delivered a broadcast that would echo through the decades. His "If I Were the Devil" was not merely a monologue but a chilling foresight, a catalog of malevolence that seemed to unspool the very fabric of the future. Here, listed, are the stratagems he attributed to the devil himself:Promote discord and discontentUndermine family structuresEncourage selfishness and materialismErode faith and spiritualityPromote moral relativismEncourage trust in government over self-relianceFoster dependency on state welfareUndermine educational standardsPromote the normalization of addictions 
  Ah, but let us now turn the page to a more... current narrative. I am Master Fewnu, and let me be perfectly clear: any resemblance my moniker bears to worldly institutions is purely coincidental, whimsically serendipitous, you might say. I find myself in a peculiar era, the year 2030, where my machinations have woven themselves into the very tapestry of human society. And, oh, how delightfully easy it was! 
  Humans, those endearingly gullible creatures, have outdone themselves in paving the way for my reign. The beauty of my plan lies in its simplicity: convince humanity that they are progressing, all while they dance like marionettes to the discordant symphony I conduct. And dance they do, with a fervor that borders on the comical. 
  Let us indulge in a bit of self-adulation, shall we? After all, it's not pride if it's deserved. My strategy was a masterpiece of deception and manipulation, a veritable feast of folly. With every step they took away from unity, from the sanctity of the family, from the very essence of their faith and moral compass, they stepped closer to me...

  A highly entertaining anecdotal collection of humorous life observations during a trip around the world. Travelling by bus to Kathmandu, the author experiences hair-raising misadventures: a chase through Jerusalem, a gun battle in Jordan, a pummelling by a gargantuan masseur in Istanbul, a python in India, and the terrifying James Bond encounter in Australia. His portrait of an Afghani shopkeeper has a bizarre twist. Time-travelling detours punctuate interesting stories about the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Tahiti, Easter Island statues and Christ in Rio. More than a travelogue, personal insights and character portrayals are underscored by whimsical humour.
