Politics that you can laugh (not cry) about

Witty and entertaining; a fine political satire that embraces many of the ills of the modern political process in a very funny format. I laughed out loud. I loved it.

I loved it. It was a hoot.

As a political science major in Washington DC any political satire is welcomed reading. Robbins, in particular, intertwined politics and the media which now should be considered connected at the hip. His study of Voltaire is clear in his own humorous, but thought provoking, style of writing.

Undeniably, Robbins has a talent for satire.

In the world of Mr. Robbins' candidate Jeremiah Greenfield, running for president in 2004, the lie reigns supreme. It is the glue holding together not only Jeremiah's topsy-turvy life but an American society that actually prefers lies to the truth.

Mr. Robbins lays on the irony pretty heavily, but hilarity breaks through often enough to make a brisk read.... For the armchair conventioneer terminally fed up with TV and other media coverage, the sad story of Jeremiah's campaign for the White House should provide a change of race.

Fact or Fiction

In Greenfield for President Arthur Robbins has written a compact and biting satire of presidential politics. Set one leap year in the future and emerging amidst the present current political hoopla, his satirical vision seems less exaggeration and more a seamless continuum of this morning's front page headline.

As an accidental and improbable candidate, Jeremiah Greenfield finds himself the only one left standing. About him swirl crowds of kitchen cabinet handlers and unidentified presences from dark chambers of power. Switch a few names and it is hard to believe that this is fiction.

If simple reading enjoyment and literary craftsmanship were the sole requisites for a best seller, I would say Greenfield for President has Primary Colors beaten by a mile.

Robbins...offers...a political fable that shows that the truth will either set one free or kill. He presents a nightmarish vision of a government controlled by a minority of elites who will do anything to preserve their power....Yet, this short entertaining novel holds the reader's interest and makes for an enjoyable interlude while the real 2000 campaign heats up.
