¡Que entre el cerdo hormiguero!

Alexander Wilson, US congressional candidate, millennial, avowed fan of Ronald Reagan and the opposite of a gay man (even though he occasionally sleeps with a man) is determined that nothing will stop him in his campaign for reelection. Neither the fact that he is still single nor that his main adversary, Nancy Beavers, married with children, is rising in the polls. Nothing. That is, until one hot day in August he receives a huge and mysterious package containing a gigantic stuffed anteater. A scandal of biblical proportions begins to unfold as his political career goes into free fall. The origin of such a strange animal is in the story of Titus Downing, a Victorian London taxidermist, and Richard Ostlet, the naturalist who hunted it. Our world today, we are beginning to understand, has been deeply and disturbingly shaped by the secret that unites these men.
