Utopia in Trouble

By Rhys Hughes

"Farce, satire and parody are usual elements in Rhys Hughes' prose, but in Utopia in Trouble they gain an almost cinematic freshness. Not only for the sincere, almost touching tribute to the great filmmaker Jacques Tati in the short story 'The Playtime of Monunculus' but for the entire framework of each of the stories in this book. For Utopia, here, appears not only as the hieratic and perpetually stable project of a perfect society, but as the irresistible strangeness that only imagination and fiction can evoke, even if in a brief and dizzying instant."
