Sardonic look at politics and journalism.

"The New Republic" would be a good read for someone who enjoys political satire and an exploration of the dynamics of admiration. Lionel Shriver's droll, tongue-in-cheek approach to weighty issues like terrorism and journalism infuses the story with an irreverent spirit. The book's exploration of the magnetic appeal of certain individuals also adds to its charm and invites reflection. Overall, this is a book that is sure to entertain and provoke thought.

Description
