Politics is about: a) a threesome; b) politics
Moshe loves Nana. But love can be difficult -- especially if you want to be kind. And Moshe and Nana want to be kind to someone else.
They want to be kind to their best friend, Anjali. Moshe is an insecure actor in Finsbury, Nana is an architecture student who distrusts her own beauty, and Anjali is a commercial actress trying to be noble.
Can three well-intentioned lovers remain properly egalitarian when squabbling over who gets stranded by the cold draft of the bedroom window?
Politics explores crucial problems of sexual etiquette. What should the sleeping arrangements be in a ménage-à-trois? Is it polite to read while two people have sex beside you? Should a well-meaning boyfriend feel obliged to make tea after watching an experimental seduction on his bedroom floor? Is it permissible to be jealous?
Love Triangle: Determined to remain mutual, Moshe and Nana invite their actress friend Anjali into their bed, only to discover that altruism makes domestic logistics impossibly fraught.London Setting: Their well-meaning entanglements range from Finsbury tenements and the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn to salt-beef bagels on Greville Street.Erotic Elements: From ill-fitting pink fluffy handcuffs to aromatherapy massages on the carpet, their clumsy attempts at avant-garde intimacy consistently collide with awkward British decorum.Multiple POV: The story balances Moshe's theatrical neuroses and Nana's architectural studies with Anjali's commercial acting auditions.
