About the author
Satirical author Aur Esenbel is the creative dynamo behind The Daily Squib. “The Satirist With a Thousand Faces” has taken aim at almost every genre, subject, VIP, and major news story with a fiery rage, savvy eye, and knowledge accrued from living in over 15 countries and travelling to 45 more. Dedicated to The Sixteen Satires of Decimus Juvenalis, this anthology updates the ancient school of Juvenalian satire for our modern age of Twitter pile-ons and autocrats with ludicrous haircuts, channelling that same wrath, angst, and critical acumen. Apart from satirical writing, film-making, and illustration the author has always been a dedicated fine artist and guitarist. He currently resides in London.

The Daily Squib: Anthology from 2007 to 2022 : Aur Esenbel: Amazon.co.uk: Books
“The funny stories are written like mini mocking news accounts – the sort of thing to be found in the best selling satire magazine “Private Eye” only a fair bit funnier.” Dr M Sutton
“Pleasantly surprised by this wonderful book. Let me tell you it’s like breathing a breath of fresh non-pc air. Outrageous daring satire that addresses as many subjects as possible and fires its satirical gun in all directions. The social commentary of our times comes thick and fast leaving no prisoners.” Panca7
