A Journey to the Dark Heart of Nameless Unspeakable Evil: Charities, Hollywood, Joseph Kony and Other Abominations

by Jane Bussmann

Overview

After comedy writer Jane Bussmann moves to Hollywood, her day job interviewing A-list celebrities leaves her suicidal. She goes to an African war zone in search of a better life (and an ill-considered romance) but ends up uncovering the most farcical war of the century.

''Most sneakily subversive medium for a heretically important message I've seen. Inappropriately f*cking hilarious and absolutely gut-wrenching. Must-read.''

''Bussmann has invented a new genre--the agony/comedy. And it's very, very funny.''
The Lady

''Marrying vociferous rage with humor. . . a marvelously maverick approach to the investigation of war crimes. (Four Stars)!''

The Guardian

''Angry and hilarious, this is a little classic.''
