Splintered : A Political Fairy Tale
Overview
Once upon a time, Pinocchio was a real boy who couldn't tell a lie. Now he's a politician who can't seem to tell the truth.
Anonymous and ambitionless, junior analyst Pinocchio stumbles into fame when a chance encounter leads to his being dubbed "The Last Honest Man in Washington." But the spotlight comes with strings attached-namely, a corrupt congressman who turns him into a political pawn. As the lies pile up and his marriage unravels, Pinocchio tells one whopper too many-triggering the ancient magic that turns him back into a wooden puppet, live on C-SPAN.
Now Pinocchio has one week to break the curse or spend eternity as kindling. His only hope? A boozy fairy, a bickering band of talking insects, and the faint memory of what it meant to be real.
Part biting satire, part political fairy tale, Splintered is a wildly original romp through Capitol Hill corruption, media spectacle, and the high price of losing yourself in the story you're selling.This item is Non-Returnable
