What's Missing In The Venice Biennale ?

Aug. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- "THE SECOND VENICE" by Askin Ozcan - ISBN  1598000888  (Outskirts Press) -
a masterpiece in humor !  A fantasy novel which describes the life in an imaginary Venice, built by McBigBIte and Pshht Cola, to save Venice from the pollution and destruction of tourists. In this fake, "bigger and better" Americanized version of  Venice, everything Venice has, has been imitated. Facades of  the buildings, museums and the paintings in them, the canals, vaporettos, piazzas, exhibitions, everything, everything has been imitated...There is even a "Fake Films Festival", which brings from around the world the best fake films to compete for a prize.
Author Askin Ozcan has not neglected to include in his book, brief scripts for ten such fake films. Congresses, dog shows, spies, thieves, mafia stories bring additional color  to this
humorous monster which won a few years ago  a Nr. 1 place among the "top rated books"
in Italy Magazine, surpassing the Roman Classic Juvenal's "Satires".
Mr. Ralph Ferraro, Director of the Italian American Press, wrote a meaningful review of the book in News Italia Press, under the title "Un falso per necessita" ( A mistake of necessity).
Ernest Dempsey wrote a fabulous review in " Compulsive Reader " which was reprinted also in www.thesop.org , www.newsblaze.com, www.theseoultimes.com, www.turkishdigest.com
Turkish Press  and TVs made a big hit of it. The book is catching on in the world markets.

" THE SECOND VENICE " is missing in La Biennale. It should be sold in every piazza, to bring a fresh spirit, a humor, which has much meaning in all the arts and in the grandeuse
of such a fabulous art event : La Biennale.
