No Way to Treat a First Lady
by Christopher Buckley
George W Bush was President in 2002, following Bill Clinton to the White House. The OJ Simpson murder trial ended in 1995. And Christopher Buckley's No Way to Treat a First Lady was written in 2001, published in 2002. There you have it in a nutshell.
Absurdity and satire tied into a philandering President, an outsized legal profession, and an overdosed Washington focused media.
As a book this one waxes and wanes between three and four stars. Buckley has a generous command of English and a delightful way of cutting to the quick with deadpan humor. Is this book something to read if you want to be challenged to think? Well, maybe. It all depends upon who you are having dinner with and what you want to talk about.
For what it's worth, this is my first book by Buckley and I borrowed this and a second of his books from the library, both at the same time. I'm curious to see what impression the second book makes.
