Synopsis

A runaway psychologist. A rogue publicist. A reluctant student. A dare that shakes the nation.

Electric Orange is a darkly comic novel about memory, media, and the danger of being taken seriously. Part psychological mystery, part alternate history, it’s a portrait of a person—and a nation—that can’t distinguish madness from insight. When Pieter Verboom has a nervous breakdown on national television, the last thing he expects is to become a populist icon. But when his ironic rant is taken literally by America’s fringe, he’s hailed as the architect of a movement he wants nothing to do with. Desperate to disappear, he’s hounded by an unhinged publicist, Ella Walker, who sees disaster as branding gold. Told through the eyes of his loyal student, Santo Vera, Electric Orange is a surreal odyssey through a nation that mistakes sarcasm for a blueprint.

“An incredibly unusual book yet totally believable. The language is perfect. It’s in the tradition of Atwood, Huxley, and Orwell. TJ demonstrates a tremendous base of knowledge and empathy; he strikes deep and true.” —Frank Schaeffer, New York Times bestselling author of Portofino and Crazy for God.

“Electric Orange is outrageous in the best way—smart, fearless, and wildly original. Pieter Verboom is a character for the ages. A remarkable achievement.” —Dr. Spenser Simrill, Jr., creator of the Once Removed podcast and TEDx speaker featured on CNN and Audible Originals, and in The New York Times, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone.

À propos de l?auteur

TJ Poortinga writes psychological fiction laced with mystery, satire, and just enough truth to make you howl. Raised among dairy farmers in an immigrant enclave of Washington State, he was groomed for the clergy and trained accordingly. In college, he was recruited by a network of political activists disguised as a prayer club-one of many experiences that would later fuel his writing. After teaching high school for two years, he ghostwrote for a conservative radio pundit before making a dramatic exit from the movement, complete with existential crisis. His work is darkly funny, unexpectedly tender, and pulses with the energy of a fever dream and the timing of a well-told joke.
