The columnist
a novel
by Jeffrey Frank
"At a cocktail party, George H. W. Bush encourages Brandon Sladder, the prominent Washington columnist, to write his memoirs. Sladder has, after all, known just about everyone of importance. He has talked on intimate terms with world leaders, been a witness to enormous change, and expressed weighty opinions on important matters of state. He believes that his own life story could add much more than a footnote to our age.
But what is meant to be a look back at his life and our times turns out to be far more revealing." "The Columnist is Sladder's attempt to burnish his image for posterity. What emerges is something else: the misadventures of an irresistibly loathsome man - self-important, social climbing, dangerously oblivious. He seems to be remarkably destructive to those who know him best - employers, rivals, lovers, and family."--BOOK JACKET.
