A laugh-out-loud romp through recent headlines you will instantly recognize regarding America's badly misbehaving political, media, and academic subcultures. The zany characters are all fiction, but the novel's story lines are based on real events over the past decade as they play out on a fictional barrier island off the coast of Georgia. No corrupt politician, vapid media personality or bumbling bureaucrat is safe from the well-deserved razzing they get in Frederick Lewis' debut novel.
