Reviews
"Weird, wonderful, and very much of the moment, Enter the Aardvark is a landmark political novel of the Trump era...With heart and humor, Anthony expertly skewers our current political climate."-- ESQUIRE, "The feat of a virtuoso stylist who makes the wildly impossibleseem everyday. Anthony stabs with tenderness, drags us through thepurifying muck of love, and writes a refrain that does not repeat. A novelof riotous longing echoing across our continents and eras."-- SALVADOR PLASCENCIA, author of The People of Paper, "This book is batshit insane and I love it. What doa closeted gay Republican congressman who's obsessed with Ronald Reagan have incommon with a taxidermist in 19th-century England? Answer: an aardvark. Andalso much more, but I'll let you discover the rest for yourself."-- LIT-HUB, "Jessica Anthony's Enter the Aardvark is a glorious guffaw-fest that skewers sex and masculinity, politics and power, science and secret-keeping. Someone should deliver this madcap novel into the hands of Armando Iannucci." -- THE AV CLUB, "An ingenious politicalsatire...The perfect tonic for testing times...Anthony's voice is all herown: deliciously astute, fresh and terminally funny."-- THE GUARDIAN, "Like A. S. Byatt with a demented sense of humor...profound and slapsticky, hilarious and depressing at once, Enter the Aardvark is brutally suited to our moment of absurd political theater...Anthony's approach to Rep. Wilson falls somewhere between Nabokov's Pnin and Veep ...With her huge taxidermy needle, Anthony stitches us into the breast of our nemesis. She wants to see what insights we gain from putting on their skin...It's a thrilling ride...I'd buy another ticket."-- LOS ANGELES TIMES, " Enter the Aardvark is one wild ride: a condemnation, a haunting, a song of love, a madcap political thriller-and it is absolutely unputdownable. I have long been a massive fan of Jessica Anthony's writing and this novel cements her as one of our most thrilling and singular innovators on the page. Welcome, readers, to her world."-- LAURA VAN DEN BERG, author of The Third Hotel, "Listen,we're all high-key stressed about the upcoming election, so if you need tolaugh-cry at a political satire populated with queer characters and homophobicones, taxidermy and parallel timelines, plot twists and toxic masculinity, wellthen, here you are...It's a wild ride and might just be the perfect antidote tothe wild ride we're in in real life."-- ELECTRIC LITERATURE, "Anthony is expert...The novel asks (and answers) simple questions with boundless energy and innovation... Enter the Aardvark earns pride of place, and not just alphabetically." -- NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, "I've been waiting a long time for a book like Jessica Anthony's Enter the Aardvark , a book that not only manages to bridge supposedly unbridgeable divides in politics, in time, in geography, in love and sex, but also manages to do so by way of a time-traveling taxidermied aardvark. If that sounds unlikely, well, yes, exactly, that's why I've been waiting for so long for it-this unlikely, hilarious, moving, ingenious book. Enter the Aardvark is an absolute original, and so is Jessica Anthony."-- BROCK CLARKE, author of Who are You, Calvin Bledsoe? andAn Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England, "Enter the Aardvark sizzles with uproarious fun, from its snout to the sting in its tale."-- THE INDEPENDENT, "Jessica Anthony is a writer possessed of mind-bending talents."-- HEIDI JULAVITS, author of The Folded Clock, "Inventive and darkly funny...as Anthonyconnects characters from today with those from 19th-century England, she offersan original and unsettling lens through which to view male power as it hasevolved over time."-- TIME, "If you've been wondering, as I have, where the spirit of Nathanael West might be in these berserk and awful times, enter Jessica Anthony. With her highly inventive, ever attentive, and morally serious (as all great comedy must be) Enter the Aardvark , she estranges all over again our deplorable political moment, and thereby helps make it bearable."-- JOSHUA FERRIS, author of The Dinner Party andThen We Came to the End, "Jessica Anthony's Enter the Aardvark is a truly fresh piece of art. It is rare that a novel addresses the current political moment. With humor, intelligence and a keen eye for detail Anthony paints a frightening picture of this America. And above all else, this novel never lowers itself to preaching to the choir. This is a great satire."-- PERCIVAL EVERETT, author of SoMuch Blue and Erasure, "Politics are far from a laughing matter these days, but Jessica Anthony's irreverent and unabashedly weird novel pokes fun at the toxic hypocrisy of current-day Washington... Enter the Aardvark explores closeted gay love, human vindictiveness, and the natural history of an odd African mammal. It's a fast, entertaining read that definitely fits the bill for anyone looking for something different."-- APPLE BOOKS (Best Books of March), "Though Enter the Aardvark is certainly satire, Anthony's depiction of Wilson's repressed sexuality cuts beneath the surface. Her dissection of Wilson's political beliefs, particularly his anti-abortion stance, isn't just sharp commentary on polarization, identity and power in the U.S. It's also a poignant examination of what happens when we deny ourselves the ability to love and be loved."-- TIME Magazine, "Ifyou've been wondering, as I have, where the spirit of Nathanael West might bein these berserk and awful times, enter Jessica Anthony. With her highlyinventive, ever attentive, and morally serious (as all great comedy must be) Enterthe Aardvark , she estranges all over again our deplorable political moment,and thereby helps make it bearable."-- Joshua Ferris, author of The Dinner Party and Then We Came to the End, "Anthony mixes wildlydifferent ingredients into her ingenious mental mixmaster in this distinctive,quirky satire of a novel."-- NATIONAL BOOK REVIEW, "[ Enter the Aardvark ] holds up a funhouse mirror to our own political media in the age of spin...reminiscent of Joyce's Dubliners and the later works of T. S. Eliot, the prose quickly transitions into something more modern, but equally ambitious...The book raises some standard commentary about our relationship to politics and the media...but Anthony's reflection of ourselves goes deeper. This is a world that serves, in some ways, as a salve to readers disgruntled by the last four years."-- LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS, "It's a long time since I have enjoyed a novel somuch. Fresh, witty and smart, it also has a heart. What more couldyou want? And who would have thought that you could become emotionally attachedto a stuffed aardvark?"-- KATE ATKINSON, author of Big Sky and LifeAfter Life, "Ablisteringly innovative and outrageous novel...If you're searching for a sharp,looking-glass view into the far end of contemporary politics, look no further.Jessica Anthony's novel has the pacing of a thriller with satirical verve ofNathanael West. Beyond a fabulist send-up of our current political chaos, it'san examination of the fall out of masculinity's rigid constraints, played outthrough sexual repression and relentless power dynamics."-- THE OBSERVER, "Anthony has woven the historic and the contemporary into this brilliantand fast-paced novel. Bursts of hilarity and heartbreak make it a delight toread. A perfect escape for this political season."-- MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE, "[Anthony's] story reelsbetween epochs of time and knots of characters but, in her case, with theunsparing, high-energy atom-smasher of whip-smart, informed, biting cynicism.Her prose is quick, almost breathless, voracious and deftly targeted."-- BAY AREA REPORTER

Synopsis
A Republican Congressman struggles to save his career after a stuffed aardvark appears on his doorstep in this original and uproarious novel of politics, power, and sexuality. Early one morning on a hot day in August, millennial Congress-bro Alexander Paine Wilson (R) is planning his reelection campaign when a mysterious FedEx delivery arrives at his townhouse. Inside is a gigantic taxidermied aardvark. What does it mean? To find out, this outrageous, edge-of-your-seat novel hurtles between present day Washington, DC, where Wilson tries to get rid of the unsightly beast before it destroys his career, and Victorian England, where we meet the aardvark's taxidermist and the naturalist who hunted her, and learn the secret that binds them all. More than a ghost story, a love story, or even a political satire, Enter the Aardvark is a stunningly prescient exploration of the consequences for all of us when repressed male love meets oppressive male power. It is also that rarest of creatures-a work of art so utterly original and masterfully built that it seems to have sprung fully formed from its visionary maker's head., In this "blisteringly innovative and outrageous" ( The Observer ) novel that the Los Angeles Times describes as "somewhere between Nabokov's Pnin and Veep ," a young politician discovers a mysterious stuffed aardvark on his doorstep and sets out on a journey to find out what it means. Early one August morning, millennial congressman Alexander Paine Wilson (R) receives a strange package in the mail. Inside is an enormous taxidermied aardvark. What does it mean? Well, everything. Hurtling from the beginning of the universe to present-day Washington, DC, this astonishing, edge-of-your-seat novel is at once a piercing look into the sick heart of our democracy and a profoundly moving meditation on the nature of love, power, and evil. In the end you will not only know the meaning of the aardvark, you will see our current reality through new eyes. *One of Time Magazine's Must-Read Books of 2020*
