A runaway psychologist. A rogue publicist. A reluctant student.
A dare that shakes the nation.
Part psychological mystery, part alternate history, Electric Orange is 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 Verboom's 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. It's in the tradition of Atwood, Huxley, and Orwell. The language is perfect. 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., his work has appeared on CNN, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone.
