Christopher Buckley is an outstanding American satirist whose bestsellers have gained worldwide fame. Nine of Buckley's eleven books have been named Notable Books of the Year by The New York Times. Who doesn’t know his novels “They Smoking Here,” “Little Little Green Men,” “Tumult in the White House,” “Florence of Arabia,” “You Don’t Do That to a First Lady” (honorary national Thurber Award)? And here’s a new sharply satirical novel “ They eat puppies, right?”, in which Buckley, Bush Sr.’s speechwriter, who knows many secrets of the American backstage, cleverly and funnyly constructs a parallel reality of our days - the action takes place in 2012. The author turns to American-Chinese relations for the first time, basing the plot on the creation of top-secret modern weapons. Among the main characters are the fictional presidents of the United States and China, members of the CPC Politburo, CIA employees, a couple of reckless lobbyists and even a fugitive Russian oligarch.
