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. ____________________________________________'So perfect and funny that you read it over and over, laugh every time...Completely insane but utterly hilarious' John Boyne'Inventive and darkly funny' Time'Fresh, astute and mouthwateringly sharp, this is a rare thing; a political satire that tugs on the heartstrings in unconventional ways' Irish Times'Spry, slim, clever...the inventiveness is impressive and the story has heart' The Sunday Times'The most fizzing and amusing novel of the year' Strong Words magazine'Sharp, inventive and very funny, it's an entertainingly bizarre political satire' TATLER'Weird, wonderful, and very much of the moment, Enter the Aardvark is a landmark political novel of the Trump era...With heart and humor, Anthony expertly skewers our current political climate' Esquire
