Ep. 2: "Nasty Business: The Tale of Boss Tweed" Starring John Lithgow

In this second excerpt from A Confederacy of Dumptys, Lithgow performs “Nasty Business: The Tale of Boss Tweed.”

Award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents the third book in his runaway hit series. A Confederacy of Dumptys takes us through a history of twenty-five American Scoundrels in this all-new collection of Lithgow's satirical poems and illustrations.

While the Trump Era was rife with corruption and abuse of power, it was nothing new. Through Lithgow's cutting humor, you will read about a rogues' gallery of villains that came before Donald J. Trump, powerful men and women who were corrupt, venal, criminal, adulterous, racist, or just plain disgusting. With dark and lyrical stories from across American history, you will learn about long-forgotten figures and bad actors of today
