50 Shades of Key: The Unofficial John Key Joke Book by Paul Little

A satirical look at John Key's public image

Very Good Condition - Minor wear to the cover edges and corners. Pages are clean and tidy.

Paul Little takes an irreverent approach to New Zealand political humour in this unofficial joke book about John Key. Photographs of the politician become the starting point for comic captions, imagined remarks and playful reinterpretations of public moments. The jokes draw on the contrast between a carefully managed political image and the awkward or unexpected possibilities a photograph can suggest. Short entries and a visual format make the book easy to browse, with the humour arriving through a succession of separate gags. Written as satire rather than biography, 50 Shades of Key is aimed at readers who enjoy topical jokes, political teasing and an opportunity to laugh at the theatre of public life.
