This is a semi-fictional journalist's account of the 2014 election campaign, written in a pastiche of the styles of the great US journalists like Tom Wolfe and Norman Mailer. It's very funny, and despite the fictional elements, it is as true an account of the madness which surrounded the election as you'd read anywhere. In a strange way, it's a companion to Nicky Hager's Dirty Politics, as that book hung heavy over the election campaign; Braunias responds to that madness without taking sides. The book is not exactly neutral, but it's also not partisan. It is, however, a must-read.
