DESCRIPTION.
As the title says this is not a book by Sarah Palin. To becompletely honest - this is not Nigel Tomm's book either. It is a drama"Hedda Gabler" by Henrik Ibsen (premiered in 1891) with a difference thatthe names of the main characters are interchanged with those from SarahPalin's bio, i.e., Hedda Gabler now is Sarah Palin and George Tesman is ToddPalin (her husband). Wikipedia says: "The character of Hedda is consideredby some critics as one of the great dramatic roles in theatre, the "femaleHamlet," and some portrayals have been very controversial. Depending onthe interpretation, Hedda may be portrayed as an idealistic heroine fightingsociety, a victim of circumstance, a prototypical feminist, or a manipulative villain." Can we call her Sarah Palin? The answer is up to you. The author of the book, Nigel Tomm calls it a textual installation art where suchphenomenon as authorship, perception, cognition and law are beingquestioned. The book also questions the role of the author and its significancein today's mashup world.
