The title story chronicles Ella, a downtrodden chimney sweep who dreams of becoming a glamorous movie star — a sharp, witty sendup of Hollywood fantasy and American consumer culture. Each tale in the collection skewers mid-twentieth-century anxieties with biting wit, targeting conformity, romance, masculinity, and the absurdities of modern life. Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and playwright, illustrates the gap between aspiration and reality with a deceptively light hand, making this an enduring classic of American satirical comics. Originally serialised in the Village Voice, these stories retain their sting and charm decades after their first publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956454994139,"sku":"2026770001729-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3b3988e7-26f6-46ca-bc06-cc22a59193a0.png?v=1783501185","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001729-secondhand-passionella-and-other-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
