A.M. Homes
Set in the aftermath of Barack Obama's 2008 election victory, Homes's latest is a timely discourse on the fracturing of US democracy. The Big Guy, a wealthy donor to the Republican Party devastated by the result, forms a cabal intent on restoring conservative American values. For all its pleasures - not least the superbly calibrated dialogue - the satire largely fails to ignite.
