Slims Achmed Makashvili is determined to leave his native Georgia. It's a country buffeted and often invaded by its neighbours and plagued with lack of amenities. On hearing that Hilary Clinton is running a competition, the prize for which is a trip to the States and knowing all he has to do is overstay his visa for a better life, Slims' letters to Hilary begin. Eventually he gets to the US but… Well, be careful what you wish for.
Further Reading: We would be remiss if we didn't point you towards Adam Johnson's aforementioned [[The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson|prize winner]] so we will.
