In this wild adventure, full of talk of buttocks and backsides, The Fanny Upping is not what one would call a typical science fiction adventure. Our story follows the tale of 16-year-old Pinky Bell Asano, a Japanese teenager whose life focus seems to be dodgeball. As the tale progresses, we see the emergence of the TittiButt, a creature who has an unworldly eyeball for an anus. As it goes around, sucking people up, one thing is for certain that after reading this book you will never be the same.
The Fanny Upping, by Michael A. Greco, is a novel written to make its readers think about the world differently. Cultural taboos, teenage dramas, and investigations into supernatural occurrences that would make the most dedicated science fiction readers pause. Filled with Japanese influences throughout, this book brings a unique perspective on the world of fantasy and fiction.
Greco’s infusion of Japanese terminology lends an authentic cultural flair to the narrative, adding depth and color to the tale’s tapestry. The distinctive character names, such as Pinky Bell and Candy Buppie, are a testament to the novel’s creative spirit, though they may require the reader to pay close attention to the unfolding story. This element of complexity in character development adds a layer of engagement, encouraging readers to immerse themselves more deeply into the world Greco has crafted. While the journey through the character arcs may be intricate, it invites a delightful challenge to the adventurous reader, making the experience of unraveling the plot all the more rewarding.
The narrative of The Fanny Upping joyfully defies a linear storyline, offering a mosaic of events that invite readers to piece together the plot in a way that is as engaging as it is unique. The novel’s liberal use of humor, including its cheeky references, is a bold choice that adds to its distinctive voice and charm. While the unconventional structure may seem like a jigsaw puzzle with its scattered pieces, this quality makes it an intriguing read for those who delight in assembling the bigger picture from the whimsical details. This book is a perfect match for readers who relish the opportunity to think outside the box and enjoy a narrative that keeps them guessing.
