Sinopse

In 'The Message to Buckshot John,' Charles E. Van Loan crafts a meticulously woven tale that delves into the escapades of a seemingly reputable figure, The Great Gilmore. This character, exalted among high society for his supposed expertise in 'Purified Thought,' is revealed to be a charlatan preying on the elite's biases and vanities. Set against the backdrop of an unspecified historical setting that mirrors the societal stratification and rampant charlatanry of the early 20th century, Van Loan employs a deeply satirical literary style to navigate this narrative. The richness of the context lies not just within the tale itself but also in the deft use of language and ironic juxtapositions that underscore his critique of upper-crust credulity.

Charles E. Van Loan's background may not be immediately reflective of his protagonist's duplicitous machinations; however, a deeper look reveals a keen observer of human foibles and societal farce. His writing is informed by an astute awareness of the human condition and the frequent slip between appearance and reality. The propensity for individuals to be deceived by fine words and a polished exterior contributes significantly to the creation of The Great Gilmore, a character emblematic of universal themes of deceit and self-deception.

'The Message to Buckshot John' is intricately recommended for those who appreciate literary finesse and the exploration of human vulnerability to falsity. Van Loan's work challenges readers to discern truth from mere spectacle, making this novel particularly relevant in an era burgeoning with misinformation. It is a must-read for enthusiasts of character-driven narratives that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining.

    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
    Winner of ABC's Dancing with the Stars (Season 27) 
    The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bare Bones, host of the marquee morning program “The Bobby Bones Show,” comedian and dedicated philanthropist delivers an inspirational and humorous collection of stories about his biggest misses in life and how he turned them into lessons and wins.   
    Bobby Bones is the youngest inductee ever into the National Radio Hall of Fame alongside legends Dick Clark, Larry King, and Howard Stern. As ""the most powerful man in country music"" (Forbes), he has reached the peak of his profession and achieved his childhood dreams. Each weekday morning, more than five million fans tune in to his radio show.  
    But as Bobby reveals, a lot of what made him able to achieve his goals were mistakes, awkward moments, and embarrassing situations—lemons that he turned into lemonade through hard work and humility. In this eye-opening book, he’ll include ideas and motivations for finding success even when seemingly surrounded by impossible odds or tough failures. He also includes anecdotes from some of his famous friends—Andy Roddick, Chris Stapleton, Charlamagne Tha God, Charles Esten, Brooklyn Decker, Walker Hayes and Asa Hutchinson—who open up about their own missteps.  
    Bobby’s mantra is Fight. Grind. Repeat. A man who refuses to give up, he sees failure as something to learn from—and the recollections in this funny, smart book, full of Bobby’s brand of self-effacing humor, show how he’s become such a beloved goofball.
