Hey all. I'm back in the US after an incredible two week trip to Turkey. (More about that to come). Here's a review I wrote of Ralph Nader's lastest book, an 800-page novel called "Only the Super Rich Can Save Us." I wasn't a big fan.

"Ralph Nader begins his new book, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!, with an author's note that attempts to clarify any genre confusion the reader might have. "This book is not a novel," he announces. "Nor is it nonfiction. In the literary world, it might be described as a 'practical utopia.' " It's a smart clarification to offer because, by the aesthetic criteria of either of those two more common forms, it is a colossal, Hindenburgian disaster."
