Cast as a fictional memoir of the 1960s, â¿¿Madame de Gaulle's Penis' tells the story of John Sinclair, an ambitious young broadcaster with marital problems whose career nosedives following what should have been a turning-point interview with the recently-retired General de Gaulle. In a beautifully-crafted comic thriller, Sinclair follows de Gaulle and his diminutive wife to America in an attempt to get his revenge â¿¿ an attempt that takes him all the way to the White House and introduces him to characters like a karate-trained nun and a near-mummified general... not to mention a series of hallucinations that make life increasingly difficult before leading to a satisfying resolution. This is light, easy reading at its best, produced by a master of fictional entertainment.
