Reading Kim Right

175pp. A book not about Kim Campbell, but about "Kim Campbell." It addresses not a person but a public image that has come to Canadian national consciousness in a cluster of photos, quips, speeches and headline adjectives. Suggests that such a web of images is all any voter has available for judgement in a modern democracy and further, that in the late 20th century democracy called Canada, we get not the candidate we deserve, but the candidate of our desires. (Ms. Campbell and her party were all but destroyed in the federal election which occurred shortly after this book was printed.) Light wear. Clean and unmarked. Nice copy. Book
