New Book: The Second Big Bang
adult comedy spring reading
Introducing a sci-fi/fantasy novella with a racy a sense of humor:
The Second Big Bang
A new book from JaZzyMae Media
When America elects her first woman President, the battle of the sexes reaches a climax!
Spoiler alert: the first part of the story is based on the surprisingly modern anti-war comedy Lysistrata by Aristophanes (first performed in 411 BC) in which women withhold sex to end a war.
With so many dark perspectives out there – dystopian movies have doubled since 2010 – The Second Big Bang provides a silly and fun utopian vision of a peaceful future.
Background
In the '80s at NYU Film School, my concept for a silly story about the first female U.S. President leading a love evolution was dismissed by a teacher as “too weird.”
But it stuck with me. I co-wrote a screenplay for The Second Big Bang with Sandra de Fontanes in 2002 – long before Veep (2012-2019) or movies with a U.S. woman President or candidate, like LONG SHOT with Charlize Theron (2019.)
