Inhaltsangabe

"Eccentric, hilarious. . . . This may not be the first environmental novel, but it’s the first one that produces belly laughs."
—Mary Bringle, author of Murder Most Gentrified

Firewater is a brutally funny environmental suspense novel featuring Chief Shelldrake, favorite son for the U.S. presidency and last hope for the world’s survival. A perfect anti-hero for the post-apocalypse, Shelldrake is equal parts Ralph Nader (in his zealous environmental activism), Sitting Bull (in his proud tribal loyalties), Huey Long (in his fiery demagogic populism) and Bill Clinton (in his unquenchable appetite for voluptuous young women).

Edward Stone Cohen (1937–1999) was born in Massachusetts and was a tireless environmental activist.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Environmental activist EDWARD STONE COHEN (1937-1999) and his wife Fritzi divided their time between their homes and the small, unique hotels they owned and operated in Washington, DC, and Nahcotta, Washington. The two settings represented the two interrelated poles of Cohen's personality: his commitment to social change and political activism, and his delight in the wonders of the natural world. A born storyteller, with a scabrous sense of humor and a lifelong fascination in the interconnections between words and ideas, Cohen had been working for years at the time of his death on the "green" novel that he left behind as Firewater.
