Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In an attempt to gain Congressional approval for a top secret weapons system, Washington lobbyist 'Bird' McIntyre and sexy Neo-Con wonkette Angel Templeton start a rumour that the Chinese secret service is trying to assassinate the Dalai Lama. Their outrageous scheme provokes a series of crises involving the White House, the CIA, and a strangely sympathetic and vulnerable Chinese president, with both countries veering perilously towards war.Buckley has drawn his most convincing and outrageous characters to date: Bird, failed novelist of amusingly awful Clancy-esque thrillers; Angel, combination Anne Coulter and Ayn Rand; Bird's demanding, equestrian wife, Myndi; Bewks, his feckless but endearing Civil War re-enactor brother; the mild-mannered Chinese President Fa and his devoted aide Gang, manoeuvring desperately against sinister Politburo hard-liners Minister Lo and General Han. Blending the skewering genius of Thank You For Smoking with Dr. Strangelove's dark comedy, They Eat Puppies Don't They has something to offend -- and amuse -- everyone.Praise for Christopher Buckely: 'One of the funniest writers in the English language.' Tom Wolfe.'A Benchley with WordPerfect.' John Updike.'An effervescent joy.' Joseph Heller. Artikel-Nr. 9781472106971
