The book 'Satire is my favorite animal' by Wolfgang Hampel is a collection of satirical poems that he reads in the literary-music series Vita Magica. The book differs from other satirical books through its humorous and critical look at German and international politics, society and culture. Wolfgang Hampel doesn't mince his words and doesn't skimp on irony, sarcasm and wit. He covers topics such as Brexit, climate change, the refugee crisis, terrorism, corruption, media, religion, art, marriage and much more. He shows himself to be a keen observer and a gifted poet with very surprising punchlines.
The book has received many very positive reviews and has been called one of the most humorous books of all time by readers worldwide. Wolfgang Hampel was twice awarded the Betty MacDonald Memorial Award. The author is very successful in many countries. Wolfgang Hampel's success in the USA is particularly noteworthy, where he reached rank 5500 in 'Parody' on Amazon com with his German-language book. Wolfgang Hampel himself said in an interview: "I have a nightmare, it's huge, reality is overtaking satire and I'm unemployed." I am quite sure that he has nothing to worry about because his satire is always very current and relevant. Wolfgang Hampel has a unique feel for the absurdities and contradictions of our time and expresses them with his very special wit and charm. 😊
