From the middle ages onwards, the use of scatology in social
commentary has been a central feature of a certain type of
literature. From the giants Garguantua and Pantegruel of Rabelais
to the literary criticism of Smollet, DeFoe, Swift and many more,
the shock effect of a good dose of toilet humour has the potential
to shake up the sediments and confront the complacent. The
protagonist is Uncle Tommy MacTavish, an aging, chronically
constipated wannabe intellectual who lives on the fringes of his
Scottish Highland home. He is a Walter Mitty of the WC, seizing the
day in his own unique manner as he caustically reflects on the
follies and foibles of his fellow men and women. I warn you, this
book is not for those who are fainthearted or easily offended by
lavish descriptions of bowel movements and toilet troubles.
However, if you like such things, you are in for a rare and
recommended treat
