Description
Welcome to the strange, quixotic quest of Vernon to win the governorship of Arkansas. Ingledew, a self-taught genius, is soon hampered by what his opponents refer
to as his â Thirteen Albatrosses. â Among he is an atheist; lives in sin with his first cousin; and believes in â extirpatingâ â that is, getting rid ofâ hospitals, prisons, tobacco, and handguns. Nevertheless, Ingledew attracts to his campaign some of Americaâ s heaviest political hitters. Together they form Ingledewâ s Seven Samurai, aides whose devotion will be tested by kidnappings, adulterous love affairs, and defection to the rival campaign of the vulgar, hated Arkansas Governor Shoat Bradfield.
