Steinbeck's only work of political satire turns the French Revolution on its head, as amateur astronomer Pippin Heristal is drafted in to rule the unruly French. Enchanting comedy ensues as Steinbeck creates the most hilarious royal court ever around the brief, bold reign of the corduroy-clad Pippin, his social-climbing wife Maria, his star-struck daughter Clotilde and her Californian beau, Todd. Featuring a motley crew of courtiers and con men, guards and gardeners, Steinbeck's late comic novel is an entrancing read about politics, power and the daily struggle not to lose one's head!
This is a very enjoyable, fun, witty, and clever book. Always good for re-read. Steinbeck surprised me by his ability to write like an European. Out of all the witticism, there is the clear-eyed understanding of human, as a herd, is irrational and even against their own interests. A sombering thought.
