Sissy Amjad Nasser

Sissy Amjad NasserSissy is an hilarious romp of epic proportions, encompassing in its burlesque scope our modern crisis of masculinity, the banality of City work, our retreat into virtual lives and the alienating effects of modern technology, with lots of variegated sexing in between. Sissy is an anti hero and antidote to Don Juan. He is a modern masculine counterweight and sad manifestation of the internet induced fright of the real: a thirty something wimp by day
