DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN by THOMAS MALLON


This is the second book by Mallon I’ve read and I’m definitely a fangirl; Mallon has the skill to seamlessly blend historical fact and fictional characters into stories that engage the reader.  In this book, the plot is the classic:  girl meets boy, girl meets another boy and the boys compete for the girl. It wasn’t until the very last pages that I realized just how cleverly embedded the Dewey/Truman surprise ending.


Pantheon, 1997, 355 p.
