Christopher Buckley is one of the perennial leaders of the New York Times Bestsellers, "the funniest living English-language writer", as critics call him. Published in the late twentieth century, Thank You for Smoking is now considered a classic of political satire in the United States, and it has brought the author worldwide fame and popularity. It is a true modern "tough guy novel", full of tension and stunning events unfolding in Washington, D.C., among lobbyists who defend such things as the production and distribution of tobacco, alcohol and weapons in government circles.

An attentive Ukrainian reader will certainly notice the striking similarities between American and domestic life behind the scenes of big politics.
