Political Animal

This book is at the origins of the whole Political Animal project. It is a collection of 21 fables written by Johnny and illustrated by Prabhakar. The theme of the fables is at the forefront of Johnny’s meditations on the human animal and “the dramatic representation of moral situations” (see Political Animal booklet). The protagonist of the fable is often an animal, albeit an anthropomorphised animal capable of thought and feeling, having opinions, motives and emotions. A fable always contains a morale, thus it is a literary form with clear political, moral and educational aims.
