Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers. He is idle, boastful, thin-skinned and egotistic; has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words in which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again?

"<b>A satire in Swiftian vein, this is Howard Jacobson’s fifteenth novel and first hand grenade.</b> If Trump’s policy is to move fast and break things, then he has a competitor in Jacobson, who began <i>Pussyv </i>in the aftermath of Trump’s election victory and completed well before Trump’s catastrophic failure to repeal Obamacare… <b>It has all the qualities of a fleet response: undigested rage, whip-smart wit devastating fluency and an aim as straight as an arrow</b>… This is the story, savagely well told by <b>our greatest comic novelist</b>, of how we got in the state we’re in."
