FROM THE PUBLISHER - Master storyteller Highsmith ( Mermaids on the Golf Course ) offers an eerily up-to-date collection of modern horror tales. On the cutting edge of technology are Operation Balsam; Or Touch Me Not,' about the government's problems in disposing of nuclear waste and an ingenious bureaucrat's solution, and Rent-a-Womb vs. the Mighty Right,' where surrogate mothers unionize and take on the religious fundamentalists. President Buck Jones Rallies and Waves the Flag' culminates with the end of the world, while Trouble at Jade Towers' embodies one of the city dweller's worst nightmares enormous, unkillable roaches. Most of the stories take current trends to their logical and horrific conclusions, as in Sweet Freedom! And a Picnic on the White House Lawn,' which concerns the wholesale release of harmless' patients from mental institutions. Highsmith looks at our civilization with a remorseless eye. Almost anyone trying to change things for the better is destroyed, even the Pope in Sixtus VI, Pope of the Red Slipper,' who is martyred trying to bring justice to the poor. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. inventory #12383.
