AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
From the Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author, a hilarious, sharply drawn send-up of local politics
A novel about a dark-horse candidate who risks his personal happiness for a career in the Texas House of Representatives
"Required reading in these politically turbulent times."-Susan Orlean, author of On Animals
"A rollicking satire . . ."- 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 everyone's headshaking amusement, he bought his own bull at an auction. But when a fire breaks out at a neighbor's 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 he'd like to run for his West Texas district's seat in the state legislature. Though Sonny has zero experience and doesn't consider himself political at all, the fate of his ranch-and perhaps his marriage to the lovely "cowgirl" Lola-hangs in the balance. With seemingly no other choice, Sonny decides to throw his hat in the ring.
As he navigates life in politics-from running a campaign to negotiating in the capitol-Sonny 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 Sonny's 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 man's pursuit of goodness in the Lonestar State.
