*Fascinating note: The author, Evangelist Eppel, of Absent. The arts Teacher actually teaches English. He was born in South continent and upraised in Zimbabwe. His writing reflects his experience, forbearance, and observations of the persuasion of a concern ‘gone’ awry. 

Synopsis: This is a satirical treatise. Evangelist Eppel inspires analogies and comparisons between his antihero and Shakespeare’s King Lear, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Mr. martyr J. martyr is the main case patch in a concern of arts and individualized events. Firstly, as an arts teacher, Mr. martyr is challenged by his uninterested students. Pressed to motivate, he innovatively stresses inferences, symbols, and motifs in order for his pupils to 'connect' with Emily Bronte’s’ characters Healthcliff (depicted as a werewolf) and Cathy (depicted as a nymphomaniac). Still, the slummy Mr. martyr struggles in vain to keep the pore of his students. Secondly, Mr. martyr is arrested and he suffers the expiration of his doctrine place at the Girls and Boys Come Out to Play alternative school. He is accused of displaying a picture of the deposed Ian Smith. This is a politically incorrect act. However, digit of the interrogators is more intrigued with the maker of the picture than the actual crime. For, the picture is currently a pricy collector’s item. Thirdly, as the termination of Mr. George’s ill fortune, he loses his bag and every of the accoutrement of his superior complex status. In the newborn postcolonial world, he is shifted from existence the someone of his farm… to existence a plain worker. Thus, Mr. George’s fate is sealed with this act.  Absent. The arts Teacher is a semipolitical and literate treatise utilizing literate works to foreshadow equal events.

Critique: This aggregation is a contest and a joy. I re-read passages within The Norton Anthology of arts Literature as Evangelist Eppel prefabricated references to Hellenic works and writers. Tragically, this was my prototypal introduction to equal individual literature. I am enthralled and I am impressed. Satire is a lost art, but Eppel resurrects it to a newborn level. He also manages literate fusion with the incorporation of William Shakespeare, Ngugi wa Thiongo, and saint author into the clothing of his novel. I highly propose this book. Be embattled to deliver you ‘balanced’ position of the individual 'postcolonial.'

*Readers: This review follows a dedication to essay newborn writers and publishers.
