Do you still recall the books "The Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" and "Once Upon A More Enlightened Time?"
These books re-tell fairytales in a politically correct style, where persons become persuns and women become womyn. And dwarves become vertically-challenged resource extraction industry persunnel.
Well, if you do remember and you liked them, you should get a kick out of "Frankly Scarlett, I DO Give a Damm", co-authored by Beverly West and Nancy Peske. They skilfully manipulate the endings of various tragic romances, from Romeo+Juliet to Casablanca and everything in between.
It shows that happy-ever-afters are possible when women are liberated feminists, and men are SNAGS. Of course it also helps that all the characters seem to be Oprah devotees who take Dr Phil's and Dr John Gray's advice to heart.
Really hilarious stuff, for those who enjoy a good parody.
