Rodham: Hillary without Bill

[catographer]

Upcoming book Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld is basically a fan fiction What If? that imagines Hillary Clinton as Hillary Rodham: doesn’t marry Bill, enters politics by herself. I haven’t read it, but I figured y’all would find this interesting. What do you guys think about the idea?

Yeah, it's basically professional fan fiction. Seems like it'd be an entertaining read; Sittenfeld's previous novels certainly aren't disappointing, & the premise of this book is very intriguing.

Interesting, because Bill was an easy launchpad into politics for her. Would be interested to see the path she would have to take otherwise.
