Author:Al Franken
The dramatic rise and dizzying fall of Al Franken, the first Jewish president of the United States. From the first days of the Franken campaign as the candidate pledges 'to walk the state of New Hampshire, diagonally and then from side to side' as Al, aided by his covering sex addict and alcoholic deputy campaign manager, stuns the pundits by defeating Al Gore for the democratic nomination, then is swept into office carrying all fifty states. But from that moment of triumph it's downhill all the way...
A powerful study of lust, degradation and fantasy
—— ObserverIt says something about the loneliness, about the craving for love, about the relation between master and slave and between white and black, and about man's earthly anguish and longing for salvation - in a way you do not easily escape from once it has gripped you
—— Andre BrinkThe writing and mood are a remarkable piece of sustained intensity... One false word could have ruined this short tour de force completely. It never does
—— Daily TelegraphAn intellectual lyric which sings the absence of history, the electric lull before history breaks... As a piece of cultural psychoanalysis and diagnosis, it's glitteringly precise
—— Tom PaulinA truly terrifying horror story with some interestingly radical underpinnings
—— I-DMr Greens' extraordinary power of plot-making, of suspense and of narration...moves continuously both in time and space and in emotion
—— The TimesHis style is spare, that's what is so beautiful. His novels are genuine romans philosophies - novels illustrating ideas
—— Piers Paul ReadIn a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man’s consciousness and anxiety
—— William Golding
