Imagine a novel which takes on brainless pretty boy Republicans, the Catholic hierarchy, sexually obsessed politicians, traditional media reporters, talk show hosts, lawyers and a host of others. Might I suggest "A Highly Placed Source" by former Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper writer and principal in Progressive Promotions here in Denver, Michelle Dally.
Michelle’s razor sharp wit and pointed satire made me laugh so hard I cried. Can you imagine the religious right’s head exploding over a young boy’s message from God that masturbation is "no big deal"? Did God really say, "He had more important things to worry about and that I ought to enjoy myself, as long as it didn’t hurt others"? And wait until you read what happens when the boys gets a second message from God. It’s a real three-ring circus.
There are heroes too. An alcoholic reporter, an aid to a local Congresswoman. A hospice nurse who lost her own son. Ultimately, these characters win you over. The ending, well you’ll just have to buy the book here.
Smart, hilarious, thoughtful, acrid but with a soft touch. A hysterical, politically charged, touching and uplifting book.
So, give up the important affairs of state that we discuss here for a short interlude. Sit back and enjoy a novel by liberal sister who knows how to poke fun at the sacred cows of America. Have a good laugh to take your mind off the doom and gloom of today’s world. You won’t be disappointed.
This book almost didn’t get published because no "mainstream" publisher would have it. So go here and order your advance copy. On sale now so don't miss out.
Now if only we could get the guys at Faux News to tell their minions what a terrible book this is. O’Reilly, this book seems like something you should investigate.
