See all formats and editions

The country has been swallowed by the Great Depression 2.0, complete with apple-sellers and Bruce Springsteen singing Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime on the radio.

The Republican incumbentbattling his highliving wife, a populist opponent, and the accurate perception that he's rich and removedhas no choice but to follow his handlers' advice: cross the country incognito, living and working among his people for twelve days in a desperate bid to seem attuned to their plight.

With secret cameras rolling and his bickering speechwriters composing his diary, he sets off on a trip that will defy the bestlaid plans of K Street's finest.

Repackaging a candidate and his family has never been so challengingor painfully funny.

From hobo jungles filled with middle management to sidewalks crowded with panhandling schtik-savants, He Walked Among Us is a wickedly gleeful romp across the country and its political landscape.
