Description
Edgar Kellogg has always yearned to be popular. Leaving his lucrative career as a lawyer for the sexier world of journalism, he's thrilled to be offered the post of foreign correspondent in a Portuguese backwater with a home-grown terrorist movement. The sudden drop in terrorist incidents raises questions about the true nature of the 'Daring Soldiers of Barba', a group that has been blowing up the rest of the world for years in order to win independence for a province so dismal, backward and windblown it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to be there. Edgar longs to emulate the larger-than-life reporter he's been sent to replace, Barrington Saddler. But as he delves deeper into the story, he begins to uncover a complex web of intrigue that challenges everything he thought he knew about politics and journalism. With his own career on the line, Edgar must navigate this treacherous landscape to get to the truth. A superbly witty political satire from Lionel Shriver, The New Republic is a gripping tale of politics, journalism, and the blurred lines between reality and reporting.
