An unlicensed surgeon, a tap-dancing chimp, and the man who assassinated President McKinley walk into a bar...
Music for Losers is a riotously funny, surprisingly moving tale of ambition, absurdity, and failure in 1901 America.
Disgraced Harvard med student Peter T. Lundlehart III sets out to civilize a whiskey-drinking chimpanzee named Bongo through the power of art, etiquette, and breakfast. Their cross-country misadventures take them from Montana saloons to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo-where they cross paths with Leon Czolgosz, an angry anarchist who would soon change American history forever.
Blending historical fact with comic fiction, Chris Minnick's debut is part satire, part road trip, part fable-and all heart.
For fans of A Confederacy of Dunces, Catch-22, and very intelligent chimps.
