Called to kill a president. Twice.
Buddy X, Washington's most unlikely assassin, tells his story, tends his garden, and shares a few recipes. This is the fable for this moment, our democracy's greatest challenge, our soul's deepest search.
A tale as bizarre as our reality. All with a sense of humor.
“In the same way that Voltaire’s Candide, used an innocent, optimistic hero to highlight the corruption of 18th Century France, Buddy X’s brilliant and engaging novel Bellringer, walks the wound string of perfect pitch in his droll tale of an innocent, always trying to help and do the right thing, whose integrity leads him to try assassinating a President…twice. Saved time and again and reviled by others for his good works, Buddy X casts a bright light on the self-serving, cupidity, and vanity of your 21st Century. Refreshingly, this protagonist enjoys sex without duplicity or shame making it a delight to identify with him.”
“Bellringer depicts a modest, caring man whose concern for what’s honorable and precious in life pits him against the political vandals who’d have us believe that a knife in the back is good for us. This vivid, moving little tale is a powerful portrait of our disturbing times.”
