Once known as the Poorest President in the World, his reputation is the stuff of myth: a former guerilla who was jailed for inciting revolution before becoming the face of justice, human rights, and selflessness for his nation. Now, as he talks to the journalist, he wonders if he should reveal the strange secret of his imprisonment: while held in brutal solitary confinement, he survived, in part, by discussing revolution, the quest for dignity, and what it means to love a country, with the only creature who ever spoke back--a loud-mouth frog. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs engrossing as it is innovative, vivid, moving, and full of wit and humor, \u003ci\u003eThe President and the Frog\u003c\/i\u003e explores the resilience of the human spirit and what is possible when danger looms. Ferrying us between a grim jail cell and the president's lush gardens, the tale reaches beyond all borders and invites us to reimagine what it means to lead, to dare, and to dream.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCAROLINA DE ROBERTIS is the author of five novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe President of the Frog\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the PEN\/Faulkner Award and the PEN\/Jean Stein Book Award, as well as \u003ci\u003eCantoras\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of a Stonewall Book Award and a Reading Women Award, and a finalist for the Kirkus Prize and a Lambda Literary Award.
