About the Book

Raising the literary bar to a new level, Jerome Charyn re-creates the voice of Theodore Roosevelt, the New York City police commissioner, Rough Rider, and soon-to-be twenty-sixth president through his derring-do adventures, effortlessly combining superhero dialogue with haunting pathos. Beginning with his sickly childhood and concluding with McKinley's assassination, the novel positions Roosevelt as a perfect bull in a china shop, a fearless crime fighter and pioneering environmentalist who would grow up to be our greatest peacetime president. With an operatic cast, including Bamie, his handicapped older sister; Eleanor, his gawky little niece; as well as the devoted Rough Riders, the novel memorably features the lovable mountain lion Josephine, who helped train Roosevelt for his crowded hour, the charge up San Juan Hill. Lauded by Jonathan Lethem for his polymorphous imagination and crack comic timing, Charyn has created a classic of historical fiction, confirming his place as one of the most important writers in American literature (Michael Chabon).

About the Author :
Jerome Charyn's stories have appeared in the Atlantic, Paris Review, American Scholar, Epoch, Narrative, Ellery Queen, and other magazines. His most recent novel is I Am Abraham. He lived for many years in Paris and currently resides in Manhattan. Danny Campbell is an Earphones Award-winning narrator and an actor who has appeared in CBS' The Guardian, the films A Pool, a Fool, and a Duel and Greater Than Gravity, and in over twenty-five commercials. He is a company member of the Independent Shakespeare Company in Los Angeles and is an adjunct faculty member at Santa Monica College.

Review :
"A rendering of Teddy Roosevelt's early life that spotlights formative moments in colorful, entertaining episodes. Charyn makes artful use of historical fact and fiction's panache to capture the man before he became one of the great US presidents and a face on Mount Rushmore." -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" "For fans of Roosevelt, this is tremendous fun...The reviewer's handbook says I'm not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I have to offer some praise for this unusually witty dust jacket. It strikes just the right tone, as does this delightful novel." -- "Washington Post" "In retellings of the lives and doings of grand, almost mythological figures who shaped America, the real and fantastical commingle, overlap, become inseparable. It is this fundamental inseparability that makes Jerome Charyn's novel about the life and times of Theodore Roosevelt so much fun to read. -- "BookPage"
