What is The Jokers (New York Review Books Classics) about?

<p>Who are the jokers?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The jokers are the government, and the biggest joker of all is the governor, a bug-eyed, strutting, rapacious character of unequaled incompetence who presides over the nameless Middle Eastern city where this effervescent comedy by Albert Cossery is set.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The jokers are also the revolutionaries, no less bumbling and no less infatuated with the trappings of power than the government they oppose.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>And the jokers are Karim, Omar, Heykal, Urfy, and their friends, free spirits who see the other jokers for the jokers they are and have cooked up a sophisticated and, most important, foolproof plan to enliven public life with a dash of subversive humor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The joke is on them all.</p>
