About this listen

#1 AMAZON BESTSELLER • 2025 LITERARY TITAN GOLD BOOK AWARD WINNER • STARRED REVIEW (Hollywood Book Reviews) • NOTABLE BOOK (Pacific Book Review) • FIVE STARS (Chanticleer Book Review) • FIVE STARS (Literary Titan) • FIVE STARS (Readers’ Favorite)

Wilder Crick, the worst presidential candidate in history, is dead.

Now his reluctant apprentice Tom and ruthless campaign manager Shelly must carry out his final order—a bizarre, posthumous search for the true, hidden nature of reality.

"Some books tell a story," writes Literary Titan's Priscilla Evans. "Others drag you into a chaotic, unrelenting experience that scrambles your brain and leaves you questioning everything. Cleave the Sparrow is for people who enjoy satire so sharp it draws blood, philosophy so deep it makes your head hurt, and humor so dark you feel guilty laughing.”
