Bogustan: An Adventure in Diplomatic Misunderstanding

En savoir plus sur le livre

Newly minted diplomat Rudy Hancock has been given the unenviable task of convincing corrupt officials in Bogustan to allow their small country to become a dumping ground for America's nuclear waste. Rudy's naivete results in his accidentally promising to build an $800 million rail line, drill a hole through a sacred mountain, and free a human trafficker in return for their consent. Then his attempts to cover up these unfulfillable promises are misunderstood by everyone around him, including embassy officials, Bogustani politicians, and an international consultant. Is Rudy an idiot or a genius? Was he really involved in blackmail and auto theft? Did he experience a hallucinogenic cactus and an injury-producing one night stand? Did he organize a massive punk rock rally? Join Rudy and a cast of misfits in Bogustan, where corruption and obfuscation are the national pastime.
