Rosemary is an unlikely mix of uncomprehending narrator and razor-sharp political commentator. Millet attempts, and frequently pulls off, the difficult feat of making what is happening clear to the reader when the narrator herself doesn't grasp what she is describing.
GEORGE BUSH: DARK PRINCE OF LOVE is the heartbreaking and hysterical tale of one woman's schoolgirl crush on America's dashing 41st President. From the day of his Inauguration until the fateful night in '92 when Fleetwood Mac played for millions, Rosemary - an obese ex-con with no visible career prospects and a drug addict boyfriend old enough to be her grandfather - is obsessed with the Commander-in-Chief, whom she fondly refers to as G.B. As her ardour grows she makes a series of increasingly outrageous plays for Bush's attention, from personal letters to paid advertising, till finally she reaches the White House, confronts him in person and declares her passion. The rest is history. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
