The Memoirs of George Sperryhawke: Recent Episodes

"The Memoirs of George Sperryhawke," winner of the New York City Big Book Award for Best Satire of 2018, is now available as a serialized podcast. George Sperryhawke, the bombastic rogue and forgotten founding father, chronicles life in 18th century America as he swindles his way up the socioeconomic ladder. After running away from home and being expelled from the seminary, Sperryhawke went to sea, and would go on to become one of the wealthiest men in the colonies by the age of 25, and a pivotal figure in the founding of the Republic. The discovery of the Sperryhawke manuscripts has given students of American history great cause for rejoicing.
