American Political Fictions: War on Errorism in Contemporary American Literature, Culture, and Politics

American Political Fictions is a rather remarkable predictor of the state of American society, its culture and its politics. It tells you how and why the recent presidential election went the way it did, and it did it a year before anyone even took Trump seriously. The author is not Nostradamus, he does not tell you the details of future history but the big picture, the machinations, and the politicking is all there. I especially liked the last part of the book which compares the American electoral system with the Swiss direct democracy (Americans have something similar in California but how similar or rather how dissimilar i learned only from this book). How much many Americans would wish their President to be like that in the “West Wing”, a political television series discussed in detail in the last chapter. What kind of government do the majority of citizens want? No matter if you’re a Democrate or Republican or just fed up with politics, this book tells you more than you’d ever think is possible about American politics and how it is expressed through writing, song, TV, media… The American government will only hear the voices from the parties who can give them benefits and powers. What is the real American dream? Why is American democracy a fake? Read American Political Fictions.
