Overview

Once upon a time, Pinocchio was a real boy who couldn't tell a lie. Now he's a politician who can't seem to tell the truth.Anonymous and ambitionless, junior analyst Pinocchio stumbles into fame when a chance encounter leads to his being dubbed ""The Last Honest Man in Washington."" But the spotlight comes with strings attached-namely, a corrupt congressman who turns him into a political pawn. As the lies pile up and his marriage unravels, Pinocchio tells one whopper too many-triggering the ancient magic that turns him back into a wooden puppet, live on C-SPAN. Now Pinocchio has one week to break the curse or spend eternity as kindling. His only hope? A boozy fairy, a bickering band of talking insects, and the faint memory of what it meant to be real. Part biting satire, part political fairy tale, Splintered is a wildly original romp through Capitol Hill corruption, media spectacle, and the high price of losing yourself in the story you're selling.
