Stretches the definition of fun to include political protests. Has some strong sections, particularly on the early conceptions of fun in the colonial period. Also some interesting commentary on the 1920s. Overall not much fun to read, very clinical analysis of the topic in an almost textbook style that is in need of editing.
For what is supposed to be a dark and scandalous erotic thriller, this came off quite bland.
