Fail to the Chief

Autor V. R. Craft
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 ian 2019
It's the Biggest Caucus Circus of All Time. After years of emceeing insipid singing competitions, TV personality Bryan Seafoam can't wait to host American President, the world's first reality show to elect a country's Chief Executive. It's the chance he's waited a lifetime for-an opportunity to be a real journalist, unearthing skeletons and playing hardball with the top ten candidates. But it doesn't take long for the contestants to start digging up dirt of their own and throwing it back at him-literally, in the case of billionaire candidate Ronald Chump when he's challenged to dig his own moat along the Mexican border. To make matters worse, Bryan's producer pressures him to be nicer to the candidates, and his former crush, now an experienced political correspondent, shows up-and shows him up at every turn. When a cheating scandal rocks the show, Bryan suspects it's just the tip of a very ugly and underhanded iceberg. Will exposing the plot to wreck the most hysterical-er, historic-election of all time cost him everything? Or lead to a reward like nothing he's ever imagined? With a keen eye on the evolving roles of social media and pop culture in shaping public opinion today, Craft's fast-paced, sharply-honed narrative paints a humorous picture of the horrifying specter of modern American politics.

Notă biografică

V.R. CRAFT drew on her extensive experience at being underemployed, watching too much TV, and dealing with compulsive liars when she wrote Fail to the Chief, a book about politicians competing in the ultimate reality show. She wrote it in a month after being outsourced from the only job that had paid her like she was not a kindergarten dropout. Craft paid too much for a college diploma that loses value every day-only to be underemployed in multiple retail jobs-and that was just one of the many issues she wanted to address in this book. So she dedicated herself to writing a comedy about the world's biggest circus, er, caucus, otherwise known as the presidential election. V.R.'s skill set includes sarcasm, satire, and snark. If those things were valued by employers, she'd be rich, but they're not so please buy her book. For the past several years, she has written for the local Gridiron Show, which roasts local and national celebrities and events, and maintains a blog called Sharable Sarcasm. She has been published on The Satirist, and has been writing for Humor Outcasts since September of 2016. Other books include Stupid Humans, Trust Pill, and Stupider Humans.
