Mynona's self-styled "grotesques" inhabited an uncertain ground between fairy tale, fetishism, and philosophy: a peculiar form of slapstick that satirized anything from nationalism to philanthropy. In this collection, we encounter a tongue-in-cheek showdown between Goethe and Newton, whose theories of color clash in the form of a nationalistic flag, as well as a striking invention that captures the residual sound waves of Goethe's voice. In "The Magic Egg," one of Mynona's most emblematic and curious tales, a man encounters an enormous bisecting mechanical egg in the middle of the desert that houses a mummy and a possible pathway to utopia on Earth. Other stories see dead lovers arise from their graves to drive off in casket-cars and a would-be philanthropist seeking the good life through an offering of toilet paper to strangers on the street. 500 $a Originally published as Schwarz-Weiss-Rot: Grotesken von Mynona (Mit Zwei Zeichnungen von L.
