Homeland: A Comedy is a rollicking but merciless satire of the crisis-ridden American political scene, involving a president who sells the United States to pay off the national debt. When the newly elected President, slick but not too bright, sells his bankrupt nation – damn the Constitution! – to The Corporation, what happens? He sets out to fleece the rest of government and a gullible and unwary public. The absurdity mounts as the press buys in to this grand charade. But can the scheme hold up when two intrepid journalists and a handful of legislators who won't drink the Kool-Aid find the courage to look behind the curtain?
This satiric novel gets at what is wrong with today's America. It's a real punch to the smug giant's gut.
