The absurdities of contemporary politics and culture are lampooned in this unique and biting novel, composed entirely of media ’sound bites.‘ Here are the voices of our time: politicians, reporters, pundits, and voters, all clashing amid a senatorial campaign between a young conservative woman and a venerable liberal man. The result is a fast-paced satire filled with sharp dialogue and ironic surprises.
