About the Author

Robert Plunket was born in Greenville, Texas in 1945, and raised in Havana and Mexico City. After an unsuccessful stint as an actor in New York, he moved to Sarasota, Florida, where he became Mr. Chatterbox, the gossip columnist for Sarasota Magazine. He is now retired and has "found peace and contentment at a lovely trailer park in Florida." New Directions also publishes his novel My Search for Warren Harding, described by Danzy Senna in the foreword as "one of the best, and most invigorating books I'd read in years, and certainly the funniest."

Danzy Senna is the author of five critically acclaimed books of fiction and nonfiction, including New People, Where Did You Sleep Last Night, and Caucasia.
Reviews
A riotous debut: The Aspern Papers performed by the Brothers Marx.-- "Time"
Plunket's confessional tone, his absurdity, and his lack of boundary between himself and his characters is a forebear too to the kind of humor that flourishes on social media, group chats, and podcasts...nothing this funny is being written today.--Zsofia Paulikovics "Jacobin" (6/15/2023 12:00:00 AM)
It's rare for a long-forgotten writer into his eighth decade to get rediscovered. What's even more unusual about Plunket, and his unlikely return, is how stealthily influential his fiction has been over the decades.--Alexandra Alter "The New York Times"
One of the most original comic novels of the past half century.--Casey Cep "The New Yorker"
