A dissection of the American way of life in all its sordid glory. Set in the California desert, the novel lives at the intersection of the Old Testament and Elmore Leonard. A fiercely contested congressional election is in progress. The wily incumbent, Randall Duke, is unburdened by ethical considerations and his opponent, Mary Swain, is a sexy and well-financed newcomer who does not have a firm grip on American history or elemental economics. This is the ideal setting and cast of characters for Seth Greenland, one of America's finest satirists. The Angry Buddhist convincingly explores mendacity in its modern American forms: contemporary politics, middle class sexual more, the criminal justice system, and the limits and cost of filial love--Cover p.
