Robert Plunket published a comic novel in 1983 that became a cult favorite, then fell into obscurity. “I did think that eventually after I was dead it might be rediscovered, and then it happened before I was dead, which was a bit of a surprise,’ he said.” nytimes.com/2023/06/16/books…

Taking a Late-in-Life Victory Lap, Thanks to His Novel’s ‘Lunatic Energy’ (Published 2023)

Robert Plunket's 1983 novel, “My Search for Warren Harding,” was out of print for decades — but remained stealthily influential. Its reissue has catapulted him out of retirement.
