Governing Travails is a mock memoir of life in politics and government administration that pays homage to Canadian humorists as well as satire in the Swiftian tradition. Though some seem fanciful, the stories in the book draw inspiration from real events, people, and circumstance. The final installment in the Capital City Trilogy, the book, like its predecessors, Don Quincy de la Mangement (the administrator) and Il Principio: The Principle (the strategist), explores its subject as a parody of a classic work.
