Frank's previous four books were very good. "What's the Matter With Kansas" and "The Wrecking Crew" were particularly memorable for the satirical edge, for which Frank is known. His last several online articles have been trivial, hectoring, lacking in any satirical edge, and rhetorical in the worst sense. The portions of "Listen, Liberal" made available as sample passages seem very similar. The issue is not that Frank has turned his gaze to the Democrats, but rather that his gaze is now sloppy and trivial. In other words, content is not what seems to be wrong with Frank's recent writing, but rather that he seems to have abandoned the satirical edge that is his trademark.

Wow you are a writer. Welcome to Mingle. Thanks for joining the forums. That is a heck of a profile.

No, but I will be reading the book What's The Matter With Tom Frank as soon as the Amazon website sends it to me.
