"Plays with language and rests squarely on the line between clarity and confusion. The two sentences, "You wouldn't jump in my grave so quickly" and "Then he zeroed the scale, turning the dial with a pointing finger, as though he was removing the weight of the previous owner," are worth the price of admission alone; they're terrific. And, as an editor, I love the obsession with the almost sensible "origined.""

Tony Blair: The Wilderness Years, The Novel

Tony 'Bono' Blair believes he is the Tony Blair, Prime Minister (the real one is trapped in Downing Street for a third term). He's lost the leadership of the Labour party, his marriage is over, and he believes he has superhuman powers. He also talks to a teddy bear. He thinks his new job, CEO of a top company, will give him time to relaunch his political career. But he's hopelessly out of touch, sounding as though he's watched too many episodes of Friends. He's determined to fight back, and to find a MacDonald's so he can "reach the kids", who he's obsessed with. After all, you know, it's just a game of politics. But Tony's new top job isn't all it seems.
