A Reading of Dr. Jonathan Swift's 1729 "A Modest Proposal For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland from being a burden on their parents or country and for making them beneficial to the publick." Read by Matthew Swab. A modest proposal is one of the most famous satires in the English Language and the Public Domain. You can find the full text on project guttenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1080/1080-h/1080-h.htm I read this because it amused me and because it makes a good sample of voice work. Not to mention fun. Delicious baby eating fun. Would you like some Art with that? https://www.redbubble.com/people/Swabcraft/ #funny #blackcomedy #satire
