A sleazy, one-sided bore. George Wallace & Bull Connor are never ID's as democrats. Goldwater is an extremist, racist lumped in with Wallace among those responsible for murdering Martin Luther King. Reagan lumped in with Wallace encouraging police to beat up protestors. Then hit for defense spending, tax cuts, support for the Contras and labelled over and over as a mass murderer. Republicans are portrayed as opposing Civil Rights and are not credited for supplying a majority of the votes to pass the 60's Civil Rights Laws. One fictional republican character meets a Black woman lawyer and he's characterized as having "... difficulty with the concept of a black woman lawyer...first saw her as a secretary, then as a Negro. He was now regarding her as a pair of breasts." A red-neck on an airplane is a Nixon voter. George H.W. Bush is a cold warrior and a Reagan collaborator. The novel concludes with a two page, feel good epilogue about: the election of Barack Obama, of course. This novel is saturated with sex from cover to cover. Every time a male and female character are together, I thought here it comes again, and it gets really very tiresome. If I Never again read about pubic hair and oral sex I've had more than enough from this book. This novel is not worthy of an otherwise great novelist.
