Description

Discover the rip-roaringly funny satirical novel about a stuffed aardvark who threatens to derail a Republican Congressman's political career...
'It's a long time since I have enjoyed a novel so much. Fresh, witty and smart it also has heart' Kate Atkinson

'What begins as a topical takedown of the American political system deepens into a hugely enjoyable romp through history' Observer

______

We all know politics is absurd. But could a scheming politician be brought down by a stuffed aardvark?

Republican congressman Alexander Paine Wilson is determined that nothing will stop him in his campaign for re-election.

Not the fact that he is a bachelor, not the fact that his main adversary Nancy Beavers - married, with children - is rising in the polls. Nothing.

That is, until one hot day in August, he receives a large parcel via FedEx. Inside is a gigantic taxidermy aardvark.

This aardvark has a surprising history - from the Victorian naturalist who discovered it to the taxidermist who deemed it his finest creation.

But for Wilson, the entrance of the aardvark sets off a chain of events that threaten to ruin his entire career.

Constantly surprising, brilliantly comic and piquantly provocative, Enter the Aardvark is a tale for our times, a biting satire with a tender underbelly.
