A memorable comedy-thriller fantasy of America -- or what's left it -- in the year 2050. “Corridor," the eastern United States, is governed from "Turnertown" (formerly Washington, DC), where "diversity," feminism and "multiculturalism" are rigorously enforced. Cringing, chemically castrated white men keep house as their wives rule the roost. The last traces of the old timers' old America poignantly perish in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
To the west is "Malcolmland," where Mohammed El Car, presides as "Grand Caliph," and where the official language is Ebonics (black English). The Southwest has become a Mexicanized "Atzlan."
With a fine ear for comic dialogue and sharp eye for excruciating detail, Beary’s satirical, humorous and angry novel presents a searing, Orwellian portrait of a rapidly approaching America peopled with bizarre characters who are both comical and shocking.
