From the back cover:

"After the Cola Riots, the fire at the Stop 'n' Shop, and the death of my kitten, what remains? Can any sense be made of the texts found in the capsule or stuffed in the airlock? Does the Joke Code still operate? Has anyone seen my copy of Bongazine? Who were the members of the Bootsie Club? Does the Toll Hound dance? What was the meaning of the message written in Mrs Wilson's urine? Can Jane of Trent unlock this paranoia? What *were* Chet and Donna doing in the boathouse? And just *who* does Ginger think she is?

When the internet - and the collective memory of the 21st century - crashes, the past is reassembled from the downloaded memories of Ginger, wife of ex-President Wilson. The transcripts take the reader on an intellectually breathtaking tour. In Mamet's baroque, fragmented world, nothing is certain except the certainty of academics. His customary bilious playfulness has created a trompe l'oeil for the mind's eye. In playing with the ideas of perception, understanding, accuracy, he dares to doubt them all. When truth is a quicksand, the gag becomes a lifeline of stoic nobility. Derrida meets Beachcomber and comes away smiling.

A literary jeu d'esprit, a modern-day 'Tristram Shandy', a hilarious satire on false scholarship, 'Wilson' is David Mamet at his best and most mischievous."

Picked up cheaply, especially for BookCrossing purposes.

I'm planning to release it at this evening's 'WWW'-themed BC Meetup - being held at The Brigantes in York from 7pm onwards...

releasing, as promised...

Picked up largely because of the eye-catching cover artwork. Looks interesting!
