Synopses & Reviews
He's big. He's bold. He's brash. And as the new governor of Minnesota, Jimmy (Big Boy) Valente is the most compelling figure to appear on the stateand national--political landscape in decades.
The new King of America Politics (and former UWA World Champion) tells all to best-selling author, public radio show host, and fellow Minnesotan Garrison Keillor in Me: By Jimmy (Big Boy) Valente--a brilliant, biting, and wickedly funny send-up of American politics.
This is satire at its best, delivered as only Keillor can. Meet the fascinating Big Boy and join in on the wild ride!
