Karen Finley George & Martha

Annotation

A satirical work of fiction by the author of Shock Treatment and A Different Kind of Intimacy follows the long-standing affair of George, who has just stolen an election, and Martha, the head of a fascist domestic empire, turning to kinky sex and cocaine to numb themselves against the pain of war and a corporate scandal. George and Martha's affair goes way back, before George stole the election, before Martha built an empire on fascist domesticity. As usual, George numbs his pain with cocaine and the promise of kinky sex. Later, things get worse for Martha in this story that takes a radical stand on political power and psychosexual relations between men and women.
