Sinopsis

Satires and Profanities brings together an engaging collection of satirical narratives, offering a bold exploration of societal norms and religious dogmas through a lens of incisive wit and irreverence. The anthology captures a diverse array of literary styles, from biting sarcasm to subtle irony, inviting readers into a world where the sacred is artfully scrutinized and profanities challenge conventional wisdom. The works are noteworthy for their fearless confrontation of topics considered taboo, standing as a testament to the tenacity of intellectual freedom and artistic expression. Within the pages, standout pieces provoke thought and reflection, pushing boundaries while maintaining a sophisticated critique of the cultural status quo. James Thomson and G. W. Foote, renowned for their contributions to freethought and secular literature, bring their collective brilliance to the forefront in this anthology. Both authors emerged from rich cultural and literary movements championing reason over dogma, reflecting their dedication to promoting critical inquiry and skepticism. Their inclusion in this collection provides a layered insight into the themes of satire and profanity, as their works resonate with historical and cultural significance, offering a reflective commentary on the evolving morality of their times. This anthology is an invaluable contribution to any reader interested in the interplay between satire, criticism, and society. Encouraging a fresh perspective on traditional narratives, Satires and Profanities provides a rare chance to engage with thought-provoking discourse and variant perspectives in one volume. As readers immerse themselves in the collection, they will gain a deeper appreciation of the authors' abilities to weave humor and insight, offering both educational and experiential value in their exploration of critical themes. Ultimately, this anthology serves as a vibrant dialogue between past and present, challenging modern readers to reconsider their own boundaries and beliefs.

    Liberté, Egalité, Sororité 
    It’s 1885. When murderous circumstances force two widows--Annie & Euphémie---and the precocious Auguste to flee their French village, a quartet of missionaries from the Church of Solemn stow them away within the Statue of Liberty’s head on a steamer that arrives in New York after a deadly tempest. From NY, the Solemnites usher the refugees to the staid village of Solemn, Indiana, where pleasure is forbidden. 
    The village embraces the refugees while at the same time avoiding certain delicate subjects, including the relationship between the two widows, as well as Auguste’s endless blasphemies. 
    These delicate subjects become unavoidable when Solemn is tapped to host the All-Tent Revival. The revival calls itself a “multi-denominational marketplace for God.” More accurate would be: “a time-bomb composed of two-hundred rival factions of late-19th-century American crack-pot religious sects.”  
    Guess who sets off that bomb. 
    With its cast of obedient romantics, mystical nutbags, and adorable cynics, Sister Liberty is the rollicking, thunderous introductory volume to The Stables Family Chronicles. 
    WARNING! THIS AUDIOBOOK CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF: whistling, allegorical situations, lesbians, apostasy, and a pleasure wheel. Also: Eleven instances of the word fuck.
