08.20: McCallandia: A Utopian Novel
2015-07-15 01:03:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
McCallandia (Nestucca Spit Press), by Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall, is a novel of alternate history that imagines iconic Oregon governor Tom McCall becoming president of the United States and the nation taking a different, better path. McCall is best remembered for his quip encouraging outsiders to "visit, but don't stay" — but his administration saw an unmatched record of accomplishment, especially in the environmental arena. In McCallandia, the governor has the chance to take those ideas to the national stage when he becomes Richard Nixon's choice to replace Spiro Agnew after a scandal forced the vice president's resignation in 1973. When the Watergate scandal brings down Nixon the following year, it is McCall, not Gerald Ford, who steps into the presidency.
