Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon: A Tail of Transcendence

Once upon a time the ideals and the hopes of a generation were embodied in the flight and the experiences of a fantastic seagull. Those days are gone. As disillusion hit the world, new birds were needed to tell the epic of mankind in a truer light. Filthy pigeons would do this job, in perfect tune with the new Zeitgeist. The queen of the books about Philosophical Scatology, Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon is the story of an ordinary pigeon who leaves the crowd of ordinary pigeons, for whom producing crap is merely the simple act of emptying the stomach, and learns to defecate as an act of creativity, the source of perfection and joy. He thus becomes a symbol, the guide for those who are not happy merely defecating simply to empty their own intestines. Johann Sebastian Bach Quaglia is the enhanced name of Italian author Roberto Quaglia, whose life bridged the fifteenth and the twenty-third centuries. He got off the bridge only to write his noted books, among which can be found the epic Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon. His works are noteworthy for the absence of the compassionate soul of the poet, whose place is taken by a cynical commentator on the naked facts of the world. Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon is already a classic in all the schools of the world in the toilets of which forty generations of pupils have loved reading and re-reading it (that’s to say, generations as regards butterflies, which have a shorter life than humans but are more colourful and airborne). Also, Nobel prize winners have been reported reading Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon in the toilets where they traditionally meet one another. As Quaglia once pointed out by mistake, human life is in brief just a bubble of relaxation snatched from an eternity of tormented nothingness. With regard to his best-seller Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon he declared: “Once in your life you have to write a shitty book.” Jonathan Livingshit Pigeon is the definitive metaphor of the human condition in post-modern times.
