HE'S BACK.
AND HE'S THE BIGGEST THING IN POLITICS.
He is the perfect presidential candidate. Conservatives love
his hard-hitting Republican résumé. Liberals love his
peaceful, progressive practicality. The media can’t get
enough of his larger-than-life personality. And all the
American people love that he’s an honest, hard-working man
who tells it like it is.
There’s just one problem. He is William Howard Taft . . .
and he was already president a hundred years ago. So what on
earth is he doing alive and well and considering a running
mate in 2012?
A most extraordinary satire, Jason Heller’s debut novel
follows the strange new life of a presidential Rip Van
Winkle: a man who never even wanted the White House in the
first place, yet finds himself hurtling toward it once
more—this time, through the media-fueled madness of
21st-century America.
