The Journey of Joeanis

The hero of "The Journey of Joeanis," a Polynesian who plans to visit the land of his ancestors – America, experiences a series of truly surreal, dangerous, and hilarious adventures, meets representatives of various social strata of American society, and even ends up in the USSR! A satirical pamphlet as much as a philosophical treatise, and a picaresque novel, "The Journey of Joeanis" stands alongside the best novels of Kurt Vonnegut and shares kinship with the works of Voltaire, Franz Kafka, and Jaroslav Hašek.
