From the Campaign Trail or Thereabouts

From the Campaign Trail or Thereabouts is the story of two insulated Upper West Side journalists Harold Carlyle a self-serving incompetent reporter desperate to save both his career and marriage and his wife Pattie an observant sharp-tongued and successful television critic. When Harold is assigned to cover the 2016 Presidential Election he devises a scheme to save his marriage by taking Pattie with him across the country. From the Campaign Trail or Thereabouts dives into the contradictory divided and all-too-often unsettling state of the union. Like Huck Finn meets Game Change the novel examines the politicians and popular figures who played starring roles in 2016 and holds up a mirror to the electorate that ultimately made Trumpism possible.
