Although it's not fiction but nonfiction, my book Corrupted Science has this morning been given a mention at the bottom of Jeff VanderMeer's round-up of political fiction on The Huffington Post:
. . . and John Grant's Corrupted Science: Fraud, Ideology, and Politics (FFF, hardcover) which includes a scathing expose of George W. Bush's subversion of science that reads more like fiction than fact, has just been given a big push by the publisher and is once again available in your local chain bookstore.
Of the novels Jeff reviews, the one that I must get hold of once I can allow myself again, finally, to read for leisure rather than research is The Pisstown Chaos by David Ohle (Soft Skull Press); it looks to be tailormade for moi. Lipsmacking.

That's a bit of a non sequitur, isn't it?
