The Book of Don: A Sacred Chronicle of the Trump Era

He came down from the tower, and America called it politics.The Book of Don is a sharp, mock-Biblical satire of Donald Trump, American politics, celebrity culture, media obsession, and the national appetite for spectacle.Written in chapters and verses, this faux-sacred chronicle follows Trump from Queens to Manhattan, from The Apprentice to the presidency, from exile to return. The result is a witty, irreverent, surprisingly even-handed comic account of one of the strangest political eras in American life.For readers who like their satire smart, topical, literary, and unafraid to laugh at everyone.Inside this volume:The making of a public figure as origin mythThe art of the deal recast as doctrineThe media age rendered as gospelThe descent into politics told as prophecy fulfilledA narrative voice that is equal parts reverent, ironic, and unflinchingSome will read this as satire.Some will read it as commentary.Some will recognize it as something closer to mythmaking in real time.All of them will recognize the story.If you’re looking for a standard political book, this isn’t it.If you’re looking for something sharper—something you’ll underline, quote, and come back to—you’ve found it.
