Giannina Braschi’s Putinoika, Frenzy in the Trump and Putin Era

“I entered through a window of the White House. But I will get out through an escape door at Mar a Lago.” Bacchus

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Giannina Braschi’s new book Putinoika launches September 27, 2024. Putinoika is a multi-genre epic about frenzy and plague in the Trump and Putin era. Inspired by ancient Greek tragedies, Putinoika unfolds in three-parts: Palinode, Bacchae, and Putinoika. In a world flooding with collusion, delusion, and pollution, hope not only stands its ground in Putinoika, but it elevates us to higher realms with exhilarating new literary forms, poetic expressions, and a renewed faith in creativity. Putinoika insists that poets, philosophers, and lovers have the capacity to create on a scale greater than society’s capacity to destroy. If Waiting for Godot is a threnody of hope in the atomic age, Putinoika is the “Invictus” we didn’t know we were waiting for after the global pandemic.
