Synopsis:

A story based on the premise that Bobby Kennedy is sent to Seattle, Washington, to be a moving man when the gods are unable to decide where to send him for eternity

From the Publisher: A Compelling and Compassionate Book

Winner of the King County Arts Commission Publication Award

"When Bobby Kennedy Was a Moving Man" is a compelling, compassionate book. While its premise--Robert Kennedy is reincarnated as a furniture mover is Seattle--may seem almost farcical, it is a book that is as disturbing as it is funny.

What The Critics Are Saying:

"This is a wonderful novel, beautifully written and amazing in its comic depth. Its vision is radical and healing. It teaches us a little about heaven and a lot about hell. I love this author. I love this book." -- Sharon Doubiago, author of "The Book of Seeing With One’s Own Eyes"

" 'When Bobby Kennedy Was a Moving Man' is fantastic. It blows my mind. I love it. I think Bill and Hilary should read it. I think all my friends and enemies should read it. I think everyone on the planet should read it. This book is wild. It’s insane. It’s the pope of Kennedy books in our time. It is very, very good." -- Lynda Barry, author of "The Good Times Are Killing Me"

". . . a nimble, electrifying debut . . . A rollicking, full-barrelled fantasy in which the foibles of dead Kennedys are as much a subject of caustic wit as more fictional material might be: a hard act to follow." -- Kirkus Reviews
