Bruce Overby’s new novel, Tristan 4 America, is a wild, twisty ride that kept me engaged from start to finish and even had me wishing the book’s protagonist was on my ballot!

—Clifford Garstang, author of Oliver’s Travels and The Last Bird of Paradise

Overby’s riveting rollick careens from humor to tragedy and from cynicism to idealism as his savvy tech bro struggles to reconcile the American dream with our wrenching political time. Amid the pathos, snappy dialog, and fireworks, Overby also delivers a primer on campaigns and some compelling visions.

— Charles Robbins, author of The Accomplice and co-author, with former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, of The U.S. Senate

Squarely confronting the hot-button issues that shape our nation, Overby lays down a thought-provoking playbook for an improved, more humane America. A crackling political satire that is both irreverent and relatable, Tristan 4 America has got my vote.

— Dean Monti, author of The Monosexual and The Sweep of the Second Hand
