American Freak ShowGeist spends most of his time on MSNBC's Morning Joe sifting through the wreckage of American politics and popular culture. These days, that's a big job. This book is about his other passion: freaks.
In his hilarious first book, Geist takes the smart, biting observation loved by his television audience to new satirical extremes. The real-life characters who now haunt our daily lives are cast as stars in completely made-up scenes that, frankly, are not all that far from reality.

You'll laugh out loud while weeping for the future of America. Learn more about Willie....
