A political satire wherein one very powerful Senator is able to turn the entire country upside-down so as to match the conditions of his own personal life. Stephen Mitchell's Ignorance is Bliss takes us into the myopic and inebriated world of Martin Bliss, a senior Senator and an important figure on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He comes from a privileged background-his father held sway over the Senate Ways and Means Committee-and Martin is striving to create his own legacy. Unfortunately, he will do just that! "Stephen Mitchell is America's answer to Martin Amis!"
