Absurdistan

Posted in Books at 4:34 pm by Joe Blubaugh

I know that I’m a year behind the times here, but you should really read Absurdistan.  A satiric novel that can name-drop Joseph Heller without it feeling like an attention-grab or a too-knowing wink deserves some attention.  It’s got an over-obvious author stand-in character, which makes a great skewer for the self-congratulatory Hemingway style.  It’s got a great Russian mirror of all the misguided idealism and willful ignorance that we apply to our foreign policy in this country.
