"If Dorothy Parker had written Brave New World it might have resembled Benard's satiric vision of a utopia designed and run by women. With the Revolution, the problems of hunger, disease, and poverty are overcome, and crime has become a thing of the past. Lisa, Benard's heroine, works at the Ministry of Thought helping create a body of sexual fantasies appropriate for the new post-Revolution woman. Her assistant, Justin, is in the final stages of his "re-education" and is hoping to be able to rejoin society as a full-fledged citizen. However, a counterrevolution is brewing: a group of disenfranchised men (and the women who love them) have formed an underground movement to restore the old order. Justin accidentally becomes involved, even though he appreciates what the Revolution has brought. Lisa is ordered to infiltrate the group, and as things heat up, Benard explores with wit and insight the war between the sexes and all the confusion that has resulted from the evolution of gender roles over the last few decades."-- Bonnie Johnston. |
