A Modest Proposal

This is a short review for a short piece. I won't spoil it, but this was a very enjoyable read. Full of words that you might want to look up, which coat and serve to hide the main purpose of the satirical essay. Surely my pleasure for this piece has to do with my own beliefs and appreciation for dark humour.
I'd recommend this to anyone who is not easily offended, who is interested in Irish history or happens to be an admirer of satirical works. I'm reminded of Voltaire's Candide.
