Frank: The Novel

Arts EN ↓ Odcinki: 12

What would happen to you if, all of a sudden, you couldn’t lie? That is the quandary facing our hero Frank, who suddenly has his life ripped from him in this modern retelling of Voltaire’s CANDIDE. Like DEMON COPPERHEAD before it, FRANK is a current US-based retelling of an old story and one of the most influential books of all time. It is a satirical picaresque novel, and a necessary expression of moral rage. Each episode includes commentary, music, and conversation with the author.
