About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crown Publishers, Inc., 1998. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black fountain ink. Welcome to Arianna's excellent adventure: on the heels of a small donation made to the Democratic National Committee - the result of a lost bet - she's invited to spend three days, with access as full as an intern's, in the infamous Lincoln Bedroom. Like Alice's exploits through the looking glass, Arianna's weekend in the White House wonderland is increasingly surreal, constantly titillating, and brutally funny as she encounters a parade of curiouser and curiouser surprises. Of course the star of this backstage tour is Bill Clinton himself. He and his sometime sidekick and best supporting actor Newt Gingrich reach an epoch-making bipartisan consensus that oral sex is not adultery. The President is found horsetrading in a hot tub, soul-searching during a midnight raid of the snack pantry, and otherwise devising new ways to feed his financial, carnal, and altogether insatiable appetites. And as a reminder of just how far politics and leadership have strayed, there's even a visit from the remarkably well-preserved Abraham Lincoln himself. Other works include THE FOURTH INSTINCT; HOW TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT; PIGS AT THE TROUGH, and FANATICS & FOOLS, as well as MARIA CALLAS: The Woman Behind the Legend (as Arianna Stassinopoulos) and PICASSO: Creator and Destroyer. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] N38/A31
