Description
Elliot Weiner is a historian with a passion for Morris dancing and Warren Harding, `the shallowest President in history'. After Weiner receives a research grant to write a book on Hardings tumultuous life, he gets wind of a trunkful of the twenty-ninth presidents billets-doux, rumoured to be guarded by his ancient mistress on her declining Hollywood Hills estate. There's no depth to which he won't stoop, no moral boundary he won't traverse, and no preposterous scheme he won't machinate to get at them. First published in 1983, My Search for Warren Harding garnered immediate acclaim and was described by the Los Angeles Review of Books as 'a classic picaresque novel in the tradition of Cervantes'; Robert Plunkets original fans included Amy Sedaris, Larry David and Madonna. In this deliciously bonkers novel, The Aspern Papers meets A Confederacy of Dunces meets Sunset Boulevard meets pure, glorious, hair-raising farce.
