The book satirizes historical tensions with humor, but I wonder what sparked Milligan’s interest in blending comedy with such a sensitive era.

The satire lightened the heavy political backdrop, making it easier to see the human side of the story. I'm curious if others felt the same way.

Milligan's characters are so caricatured yet rooted in real cultural traits — do they reinforce or subvert stereotypes in your view?
