My Search for Warren Harding

First published in 1983, My Search for Warren Harding garnered immediate acclaim and was described by the Los Angeles Review of Books as ''a classic picaresque novel in the tradition of Cervantes''; Robert Plunket''s original fans included Amy Sedaris, Larry David and Madonna. In this deliciously bonkers novel, The Aspern Papers meets A Confederacy of Dunces meets Sunset Boulevard meets pure, glorious, hair-raising farce.<>
