AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR тАв┬аFrom the Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author, a hilarious, sharply drawn send-up of local politics тАв A novel about a dark-horse candidate who risks his personal happiness for a career in the Texas House of Representatives тАв "Required reading in these politically turbulent times.тАЭтАФSusan Orlean, author of On Animals
тАЬA rollicking satire . . ."тАФ Paul Begala, The New York Times Book Review
Sonny Lamb is an affable, if floundering, rancher with the unfortunate habit of becoming a punchline in his Texas hometown. Most recently, to everyoneтАЩs headshaking amusement, he bought his own bull at an auction. But when a fire breaks out at a neighborтАЩs farm, Sonny makes headlines in another way: not waiting for help, he bolts to the farm where his heroic actions make the evening news.
Almost immediately, and seemingly out of nowhere, a handsomely dressed lobbyist from Austin arrives at his ranch door and asks if heтАЩd like to run for his West Texas districtтАЩs seat in the state legislature. Though Sonny has zero experience and doesnтАЩt consider himself political at all, the fate of his ranchтАФand perhaps his marriage to the lovely тАЬcowgirlтАЭ LolaтАФhangs in the balance. With seemingly no other choice, Sonny decides to throw his hat in the ring .
As he navigates life in politicsтАФfrom running a campaign to negotiating in the capitolтАФSonny must learn the ropes, weighing his own ethics and environmental concerns against the pressures of veteran politicians, savvy lobbyists, and his own party. In tracing SonnyтАЩs attempt to balance his marriage and morality with an increasingly volatile professional life, Lawrence Wright has crafted an irresistibly funny and clever roller-coaster ride about one manтАЩs pursuit of goodness in the Lonestar State.
