Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'You're a politician, a public figure. What on earth were you thinking?'Up-and-coming junior minister Gregory Buchanan has had a portrait painted of himself by the acclaimed artist Sophie White - a painting she intends to enter in this year's Archibald Prize. Until then, Gregory has hung it in pride of place on his dining-room wall. It's a life-sized standing portrait, practically photographic in nature. And it's a nude.His wife will be home soon and he thinks the painting will be a pleasant surprise. Even more surprising will be an unexpected accumulation of guests- his sardonic mother, his fundamentalist mother-in-law, his lycra-clad cycling-enthusiast sister, and the state premier, Louisa Wetherly - a senior minister has just resigned in scandalous circumstances, and she needs Gregory to step into the spotlight ahead of the coming election.It's going to be a wild afternoon, and an even wilder campaign - to do something about Gregory's naked ambition.'A madcap, witty delight - it's like Oscar Wilde or Noel Coward, but naked.'-Toni Jordan, author of Dinner with the Schnabels and Prettier If She Smiled More'A wickedly fun comedy full of larger-than-life characters, plot twists, and sharp one-liners.'-Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project' R eads somewhat like a closed-circle mystery. Most of the story is dialogue-driven, giving it a fun, campy, stagey feel, with characters often facing off against one another. Naked Ambition is witty and full of laughs; readers looking for offbeat entertainment will find it here.'-Chris Saliba, Books+Publishing Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
