American Hero
[ filmed as Wag The Dog ]

... funny, ingenious and outrageous ...

        It is a cartoon, but in the best sense of the word. The features are distorted, the aciton is far-fetched, the taste is terrible, and yet they work not only to provoke but to suggest, to procalim not a trust to what has been conealed from us .. bu the peculiarity of what has been revealed.
Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times

... incomparably funny, clever and inspired - the most absorbing story I’ve read in some time.
Katherine A. Powers, The Boston Globe

...very entertaining, though provoking ... It’s a wonderful read.
David Holahan, Hartford Courant

... a novel that will have the country reading and debating
Mary Kramer, Boston Sunday Herald

One-third of the population of the United States - the Republican third - isn’t going like this novle very much. americna Hero willpresent itself to them as tasteless, tactless, cruel, unpatriotic, unAmerican. But Democrats and peopl who might chekc the “Other” box in an opinion poll, may smile ... an absolutely marvelous time ... a Hollywood superbly imagined ...
Carolyn See, Washington Post
