Babs Boxer's New Novel
Sounds like the next Faulkner. Or Jacqueline Susanne. Whichever.
Josh and Ellen become Left Coast do-gooders. Greg becomes a sociopathic neoconservative journalist, the go-to guy for character assassinations conjured by a right-wing California senator. Boxer said that although she didn’t intend for the characters to represent the American political equation, “I hope people will understand the issues I raise about why people are blue or red or purple.”
Boxer said the novel explores “why people become liberals and conservatives. We explore the battle between liberals and conservatives at so many levels.”
The feting she gets from celebrities, who claim to have read her book (celebrities don't read books, or even scripts; they only read "coverages") is pretty amusing.
