Synopsis

Set in Washington during the 2000 election, Alex and other activists wage the Campaign for Nobody the year Nobody wins more convincingly than ever. A government agent sullies Alex's name by half-enlisting him to implicate immigrant women, but Alex survives the escalating protests and parties to reenact the telephone conversations between Bush and Gore on election night at a lavish inaugural ball.Len Bracken is the author of the first biography on French filmmaker Guy Debord; he also penned one of the first books published in the United States suggesting 9/11 was an inside job. Snitch Jacket is his fourth novel. "Bracken's first love is fiction, and there lies the rub. His novels are weird-some would say, intensely weird. Take the opening scene from his latest, Snitch Jacket. An anarchist activist makes passionate love to a glamorous TV anchor. On the floor of the Library of Congress. While they're both drunk on coca-infused wine. And a blaze they started begins to consume the national landmark. From such startling material, Bracken builds a bold fictional universe in which he mixes extreme politics, conspiracy theory, obscure cultural movements and - oh, yes - lots of explicit sex." Zach Dundas, Associated Press"By exposing and exploding the illusion of opposition between the world views of conspiracy theory and radical theory, a dangerous novel is created.
