Reseña del libro "Dick Cheney Saves Paris: a personal and political madcap sci-fi meta- anti- novel (en Inglés)"
With insight, humor, and a bit of "I don't know what," Ryan Forsythe turns the modern political satire on its head in this alternative history exploring why Dick Cheney did the things he's done. We first meet a young Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney in the year 2791 as he endures another of his Dad's lectures on the terrible no good Gore presidency-the source of all suffering in the world after a series of freak time travel accidents vaporized our dearest celebrities. Soon Cheney is on a joyride through time with his buddy Kimo. Unfortunately, their time machine stalls out on the Interyear and Dick finds he is stuck in the Nixon administration.Recalling his father's rants, Cheney realizes he has the opportunity to change history. If he can ensure Gore loses the 2000 election, perhaps 800 years later he could finally make his old man proud. Will the assistance of alien pinochle player Donald Rumsfeld be enough? Or will he have to enlist both foul-mouthed mob boss Ralph Nader and the secretly Republication robot Joseph Lieberman? And what does the Iran-Contra scandal have to with any of this?Forsythe skewers the conventions of modern books and DVDs, with numerous "bonus features." Included are an obviously not deleted "Deleted Epilogue"; a faux Author Commentary in which Forsythe and Cheney discuss Cheney's actions in the book; and a Reading Group Guide, featuring discussion questions and an author interview.Originally released the same day as Cheney's own novel-er, memoir, this special memorial edition (released the day Dick Cheney died) has been updated with added bonus features, including a foreword by writer, artist, and provocateur Norman Conquest; a new introduction by the author; additional details on the Paris Hilton BFF contest; and new and improved blurbs (this time by people who actually read the book).What would you pay for all this? $49.99? No! $29.99? Not even. In fact, the price is precisely the same as the version without all the added content. Read the book about which noted writer Brian K. Vaughan says, "There is no way in hell I'm gonna read this, much less blurb it."
