Nixon in December: One Day in 1987 That Changed The World - Paperback

by James Bennett (Author), Jason Pfaff (Author)

It's 1987 and the Nixon's are home watching A-Team, Top Gun and OJ commercials while drinking Tab and and complaining about cicadas, parking and leftists. A portrait emerges of the Nixons settled into an absurd but predictable routine in suburban New Jersey where they hang with the likes of Sammy Davis, Jr. keep in touch with Kissinger, and live out their golden years.Everything changes when they see a young Donald Trump on Donahue. In that moment, Dick knows exactly what to do--it's time to write Donald a letter.A raucous and fiendish satire unfolds as we are given a glimpse on how titans of the 1970's approached old age in the excesses and weirdness of the late 1980's.Part memoir, part puppet play script, and and part late 1970's sitcom where Nixon loosely assumes the mantle of Job alongside Sammy, you have never seen anything like this in print.Originally conceived as a work of conceptual art masquerading as satirical fiction, readers should buckle up for a twisting and hilarious adventure that probes the outer reaches of what a book, political humor and post modernism are capable of.
