Join President Bill Clinton and bestselling author James Patterson for a riveting conversation about their newest political thriller, The First Gentleman — a propulsive, white-knuckle ride through the West Wing, the media, and the American psyche.
Their third collaboration imagines the United States’ first female president — and the political firestorm that erupts when her husband, the titular First Gentleman, is put on trial for murder. With the president up for reelection and a team of investigative journalists circling, the stakes are both personal and political. It’s a thriller packed with secrets, suspense, and sharp insight — and informed by details only a president could know.
At this special 92NY event, Clinton and Patterson pull back the curtain on their one-of-a-kind writing partnership, their process, and the real-life stories that inspired the novel. They’ll reflect on the current political climate, from the state of journalism and the rise of disinformation to the pressures of modern leadership — and what fiction can illuminate about democracy in crisis.
Expect candid reflections, behind-the-scenes glimpses into the Oval Office, and a few surprises. Because in this book they’re taking the gloves off.
