Humanistic political satire, an oxymoron?,
By Lora J. Shehi (Daytona Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MacClintonlet: William Shakespeare Covers the Clinton, Lewinsky, Starr Scandal (Paperback)
I am a big fan of political satire, particularly P. J. O'Rourke, so I was anxious to read this book. It has the expected humor and cynicism, but it also has a depth of human understanding that is very rare in satire. When I read the monologues of Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, Al Gore, and Monica (not their real names according to Shakespeare), I was entralled. I found myself sympathizing with them and thinking R. Louis is right on target. I'm SURE this is the way the real people involved feel about their public ordeal. This book has a great combination of current events, humor, witty Shakespearean prose, and empathy for characters most people don't feel sorry for anymore. Republicans and Democrats alike will enjoy it. Signed, A Moderate Democrat
