On the Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking Me as Her Young Lover
''On the Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking Me as Her Young Lover'' is a satirical book, published in 2005 with a new edition released in 2008, by the pseudonymous author Richard Meros, and an adapted play of the same name written by Arthur Meek and Geoff Pinfield.
==Book==
The book was conceived while the author was in Minneapolis, and completed while he was writing a Masters thesis at Victoria University of Wellington. It centres on the author's belief that Helen Clark, then Prime Minister of New Zealand, would find personal and political rejuvenation if she was to take on a younger lover, and that the ideal person to be that lover is Meros. The author contends that Helen Clark is a woman of intellectual pursuits and that:
"her surroundings of subordinates ... probably leaves her with unfulfilled desires for a situation where roles are reversed and she can become the double-double agent of gender deconstructions."〔Richard Meros, ''On the conditions and possibilities of Helen Clark taking me as her young lover'', cited in; Toby Manhire, ''A love poem to NZ's PM'', The Guardian, June 21, 2005〕
It covers such subjects as Rogernomics and a bus strike. The book also examines what the sex acts would entail, with detailed descriptions of flesh and bodily fluids.
The first edition was published by Lawrence and Gibson had a print-run of only 50 copies, but further editions were subsequently released. As of January 2008 the author claimed that only 16 copies had been sold,〔Laurie Atkinson, ''(Slick, wicked poke at politics )'', Dominion Post (reprint in Theatreview.co.nz), 17 January 2008〕 but in August of that year, after the success of the play, stated that over 400 had been sold.〔
