About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: The Dial Press, 2000. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. THE RUNNING MATE is the new political novel by the author of PRIMARY COLORS. This time Klein takes the reader on an exuberant, wicked, and unerringly wise political journey with Senator Charlie Martin , a decorated veteran of the war in Vietnam. The experience of combat and his easy dominance of home-state politics have made Charlie fearless. He's a hot, if occasionally reckless, political property --dashing, honorable, and irreverent. And then Charlie's life begins to fall apart after he campaigns for the presidency and fails. THE RUNNING MATE takes a good man's attempt to come to terms with the harsh new realities of the modern political arena, and confronts the central question of contemporary American politics: Is it possible to be a good politician _and_ a good man? Can you live in the public glare and still construct a habitable life? As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. AA
