Boxer’s Book: Been Working On A So-Called “Suspense Novel” for Years
But don’t expect surprises. It’s quite predictable.
AP reports: “She’s a feisty left-wing senator from California faced with a vexing decision: What to do about a conservative Supreme Court nominee who appears headed for confirmation?”
A “feisty left-wing senator from California?” We don’t like her, already.
“You need to be the conscience of the liberals, even if you’re the only voice in the wilderness,” implores an aide.Who could this senator be but Barbara Boxer, the outspoken liberal whose combative opposition to Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state was parodied on Saturday Night Live?
Not quite.
Oh, God. We’re starting to feel sick.
“It’s actually Sen. Ellen Fischer, D-Calif., the fictional character Boxer created in her first novel, A Time to Run, out Nov. 1 from Chronicle Books.Boxer has been working on the suspense novel for years, writing it in longhand on flights from California to Washington and back. Now a coincidence of timing has it poised for publication just as its plot line seems ripped from the headlines
.The timing is “almost unbelievable,” Boxer said in an interview.
Please, dear Heaven, say it isn’t so.
We’d greatly prefer it if Boxer would be only a voice lost in the wilderness. Instead, the Senator’s political shrillness is heard casting about the halls of Congress.
And, now, she’s intending to publish a book? Fiction is obvious. My God, what could be worse?
Expect it to hit the NY Best Seller list, for sure.
