- Politicians, Fiction, Politicians, fiction, American fiction (fictional works by one author)
The first novel from Kennedy in five years and universally acclaimed as his most powerful work since the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Ironweed, Roscoe" shows Kennedy at his very best. "Thick with crime, passion, and backroom banter" ("The New Yorker"), "Roscoe" is an odyssey of great scope and linguistic verve.
