What do you get when a preeminent newspaper recruits an opportunistic rug entrepreneur as its moral pundit? You get a charmingly crass satiric tell-all inspired by The Ethicist column and real scandals about false memoirs. Narrated by an adult daughter who possesses a loose tongue and nose for BS, it looks consumerism, commercialism and other contemporary norms straight in the hypocritical eye.Extended description
What do you get when a preeminent newspaper recruits an opportunistic rug entrepreneur as its moral pundit? You get a charmingly crass satiric tell-all inspired by The Ethicist column and real scandals about false memoirs. Narrated by an adult daughter who possesses a loose tongue and nose for BS, it looks consumerism, commercialism and other contemporary norms straight in the hypocritical eye.Readers, who know Isabel Allende, Joan Didion, and Jamaica Kincaid through their memoirs, will come across them and others in these pages that are intermixed with reality and fantasy. For those who see the irony in current trends and influences, this book will be particularly appealing.
A funny, sharp and clever look at the contradictory nature in ourselves and society, Daddy provides a good laugh at our underbelly.
