The girls' anxious father, a politician on the eve of an important election, has reasons of his own not to go to the police, so he hires a pair of shady private eyes to investigate. All the elements of a classic noir--except that the kidnapped girls are mice, the abductors are Sunshine Family dolls, and the detectives are Barbie and Ken. \u003cbr\u003ePart 1970s childhood dreamscape, part Raymond Chandler, this is a world both familiar and transformed. Sex shops, illicit affairs, spies, political hypocrisy, and dangerous zealots may coexist with Barbie and Ken's acrobatic poolside sex, but the crises of faith that Nelly Reifler's characters face are as real as our own. \u003ci\u003eElect H. Mouse State Judge\u003c\/i\u003e is an unusual--and masterful--blend of irony and tenderness, and a moving portrayal of a father trying and failing to do the right thing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNelly Reifler\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eSee Through\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of short stories.
