"Hail, Lemuel Pitkin!"
"All Hail, the American boy!"

This wonderfully meandering short novel (with top pacing) joins together a harsh political satire with the endless optimism seen in Candide, heavens my destination etc..

While for me this book may have gone a little wild in the end, I love the style. The unwavering optimism paired with the incessant gloom throughout the book is great fun.

A brutal picaresque satire on America, optimism and politics.
