Media Reviews
A hilariously devastating satire... - Lawrence Ferlinghetti It began with George and Martha Washington, must it end with George Bush and Martha Stewart? With a nod to Edward Albee, Karen Finley invents a wild tale of their brief hotel encounter on the eve of Martha's imprisonment, illustrated with faux-genteel drawings. Fasten your seatbelts - it's a bumpy, hilarious night. - Margo Jefferson, author of On Michael Jackson This brilliant fantasy shines a devastating light on the pathologies now at the top of our cracked system. - Mark Crispin Miller, author of The Bush Dyslexicon Scarily hilarious ... Nobody's mind works like Karen Finley's. - Amy Heckerling, director of Clueless No one limns the dark wet palpitating heart of corpo-sexual-psycho-America like Karen Finley. George & Martha is a nasty, hysterical, weirdly plausible bitch-slap of a book that might have been fashioned by Jonathan Swift after a night of caffeinated madness with Georges Bataille and Terry Southern. If our president had an ounce of manhood in his pants, he would nominate Karen Finley for the Supreme Court. But after George & Martha, she's more likely to end up in Guantanamo. - Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight
