REVIEWS

“Although history may repeat itself (or as Twain reportedly said, at least rhyme), the comebacks delivered by guys like Coolidge and Churchill were of a truly classic vintage. I’ll Be Sober in the Morning is a wonderful reminder that with a little acid finesse, agreeing to disagree in partisan politics can be a downright hoot.”

                                               BRADY WELCH, Lapham’s Quarterly
