I must have been a teenager then and he was lecturing on the Metaphor. I wish I could recall his erudite and creative arguments, but all I remember is my surprise at discovering that this man of outsized vision and prodigious invention was actually blind. And his height: he was sitting on an altar and we listened looking up at him, like the giant that he was. Half a century later, Jesse Andrews has created the Mother Of All Metaphors. One that gives tangibility and immediacy to the crushing weight of the most consequential and dramatic feature of human social existence: wealth inequality.By equating wealth with body size, Andrews masterfully recreates the wrenching gut feeling of being subject to the cruelty of poverty by imagining a world, dialect and all, where the experience of poverty acquires the full dimension of tangible reality. He places dispossessed Werner its narrator, right next (or under) wealth, creating an image of what otherwise is unimaginable…or too disturbing to accept. Jesse doesn’t approach the topic with the romantic piety of Dickens or the slapstick humor of Charles Chaplin. Nor does he conveniently relegate people with extreme body sizes to isolated and remote Gulliver islands like Swift. Squirrel-sized Warner describes his life in the fantastically uneven city of Lossy Indica through the daily tribulations that we recognize so well, except for the scale, refusing to resign to the unfairness his terrible condition. Not unlike Greg, when facing death in Andrew’s “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl”. Warner description of his life in the fantastically uneven city of Lossy Indica conveys the utter nonsense of our economic reality better than a million treatises.MunMun’s scale is actually geometrically incorrect. If body size were actually proportional to wealth, the rich would be astronomically large and the have-nots about the size of viruses. But Jesse’s license is understandable: he needed to bring inequality to size so that his characters could fit the intricate world of irony, pain and humor that is so enjoyable in this amazingly imaginative metaphorical masterpiece. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful :) *by K***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 4, 2021* I had trouble finding this book in stores & on second hand book websites. I prefer to acquire books second hand for many reasons. I am glad I finally found a copy & was lucky to snag a hardback version! The Hardback has a lustrous foil image that really puts the theme of the book promptly on display. Well done to whomever thought that up! A definite win & deal. Very happy customer!Item came on time & was well packaged. Will be returning for any other book needs or finds. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest write you could ever read *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2021* There are authors that make you laugh internally. A quick nod at a witty line. Between this book and Me, Earl and The Dying Girl, I’ve never laughed more when reading a book.The prose is tricky at first, but if you allow yourself to get into it, will take over and put you in the shoes of the main character in a very unique way. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/61219738-munmun-hardcover-april-3-2018](https://www.desertcart.id/products/61219738-munmun-hardcover-april-3-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
