Uselessly: A Very Funny Book About Me, My Dad, the Devil and God

by Aryan Kaganof

South Africa's foremost counter-culture revolutionary shares "letters" to and from his father, God, and the Devil, in this irreverent and pithy book about the world. Serious and philosophical issues of everyday life arise from the naive voice of the protagonist in this off-beat, avant-garde rant. Readers will laugh or cringe at the author's sharp, inquisitorial eye and insatiable curiosity, which serves to remind them that we don't really have a culture at all.

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

Endearingly funny and irreverent. "My Dad" is an intriguing, irritating personality despite his travails. A lot of cynical stuff by the author. Lots of humour too.
