- Synopsis
- A tale of political downfall from &“an exceptional creative talent perfectly in tune with his own rapidly changing times&” (Robert Coover, bestselling author of The Public Burning). In 2002, real-life mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, Vincent &“Buddy&” Cianci was convicted of extortion. This is the story of Don &“Pally&” Dimaio, mayor of La Plata, as his corrupt administration spirals out of control. From the award-winning author of Curse the Names and Fast Eddie, King of the Bees, this is a wildly inventive satirical novel that toggles between adaptations of the language of Cervantes and a narrative of an American mayor&’s quixotic decline.
