Pippa’s Progress

Times have changed since John Bunyan wrote his classic Pilgrim s Progress, telling of Pilgrim s journey up the Hill of Difficulty and through the Slough of Despond to the Celestial City. Yet people in their millions still seek meaning in their lives and speak of journeying towards a goal. Everyone on earth seeks a heaven. This is the story of the journey of Pippa, a 21st-century Pilgrim. Simon Parke s witty and insightful modern-day re-telling of Pilgrim s Progress follows the original s premise of a pilgrim s journey to heaven, but this time through the trials and temptations of our secularised, postmodern culture. With plenty of advice and direction, not all of it helpful, from the likes of Glossy Mags, Shaw Thynge and Dee Straction, Pippa s epic journey along the Path of Yortether includes stops at Headspin s Hallucinatory Mental Circus, the Rock of Hidden Self, the city of Socialmeja and the village of Lower Bile.
