the tite of this novel is rather self-explanatory: Politics is a novel of sexual etiquette, the Queen Mother, premature ejaculation, the moral life of Milan Kundera, threesomes, the fetishes of dictators, blowjobs, Truffaut's Jules et Jim, breakups, Mandelstam's infidelity, selfishness, Bollywood,, shopping & pink fluffy handcuffsPolitics ...i recommend it to anyone who has ever been in a relationship.
