    "...a scrumptiously shrewd and hilarious political satire that takes bold measure of the newly widening generation gap and politics even worse than usual." -- ―«Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review) "A lethally sharp satire . . . The more you ponder the novel's outrageous premise, the more seriously you might take it." -- ―Don McLeese, Kirkus Reviews, Spring/Summer Preview, 2007 "An accomplished comic novelist and raucously funny political satirist." -- --Sunday Times of London "Christopher Buckley has come up with the season's best subject for a novel: euthanasia." -- ―Adam Begley, New York Observer "One of the funnist writers in the English language." -- --Tom Wolfe "One of the rarest specimens -- the authentically comic writer." -- --Boston Globe "The humor is wicked and the satire incisive." -- ―Sandra Kent, Boston Herald "The quintessential political novelist of our time." -- --Fortune magazine "Washington is a serious place. That is, it used to be, until the novels of Christopher Buckley came along." -- ―Jeremy Grant, Financial Times Exquisitely dizzy, Wodehouse-style mischief...one of Mr. Buckley's fizziest satires..." -- --Janet Maslin, The New York Times--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

    内容简介

    BOOMSDAY S heroine is Cassandra Devine, a charismatic 29-year-old blogger who incites massive political turmoil when, outraged over mounting Social Security debt, she politely suggests that Baby Boomers be given government incentives to kill themselves by age 75. Her modest proposal catches fire with millions of her outraged peers ("Generation Whatever") and an ambitious Senator seeking to gain the youth vote in his presidential campaign. With the help of Washington s greatest spin doctor, the blogger and the politician try to ride the issue of euthanasia for Boomers (they call it "Transitioning") all the way to the White House, over the forceful objections of the Religious Right and, of course, Baby Boomers, who are deeply offended by demonstrations on the golf courses of their retirement resorts.
