Amazon.com description: Product Description: ischievously composed, this groundbreaking work intends nothing short of a revolution in how we think about the "American" Constitution and government. In colloquial language that is by turns satirical, bantering, metaphorical, and sexually charged, a mysterious young Englishwoman tutors a young American in the history of his country.
