But the real reasons the unionized government workers are demonizing Walker and the NFL owners are waging war against the players is they both love their monopolies.
This beautifully written book is powerfully evocative of the human cost of war and the longing for love that, despite the shooting and shelling, never fades.
Their story across both books has as many interpretations as characters: Stuart (pedestrian materialist or honest realist) is the victim (all's fair in love and war) of his best friend Oliver (pretentious parasite or inspired romantic) who steals (wins) his wife, Gillian, and goes to live with her in France.
