Lyndon Johnson and the Majorettes: Difficulty at the Beginning Book 3 - Softcover
The assassination of JFK has left Dupre and all of America with LBJ. If John's brains aren't addled enough by the temperature, his endless obsession with girls should do the trick. He has been working on a massive Civil War novel, and LBJ is starting to call up the reserves. This is John in that grueling summer wasteland, and he must do something drastic before he finds himself shipped to Vietnam.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. A Globe and Mail Top 100 Pick of 2006It is the summer of 1965. The assassination of JFK has left John Dupre and all of America with Lyndon Baines Johnson, with a public persona cut from an old rock and roll song: I RIDE FROM TEXAS TO ENFORCE THE LAW.It's oppressively hot, the kind of heat that makes it practically impossible to do anything, or even think straight and if John's brains aren't addled enough by the temperature, theres the endless obsession with girls the persistent problems of his old flame Cassandra Markapolous and her younger sister Zo. There's also the massive Civil War novel hes been studiously not working on. And to make things worse, LBJ's starting to call up the reserves. This is John in that gruelling summer waste land, a fat, broke, horny, unemployed, draft-eligible, Buddhist Confederate, who, if he doesn't do something drastic, is going to find his fat, broke, butt shipped overseas to get it shot off.Lyndon Johnson and the Majorettes is a delightful performance, a crackerjack novella that works on multiple levels, as intoxicating as a mint julep and as tightly wound as the spring in a homemade time-bomb.
