It Can't Happen Here - A Book Preview A semi-satirical novel by Sinclair Lewis about the winning of the presidency by a senator named Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip. A number of writers have compared the demagogue Buzz Windrip to Donald Trump. Michael Paulson wrote in The New York Times that the Berkeley Rep version aimed to provoke discussion about Trump's presidential candidacy. Jules Stewart discussed the similarities between Trump's America with the country as depicted in the book in an article in The Guardian. Malcolm Harris, in Salon stated that "Like Trump, Windrip uses a lack of tact as a way to distinguish himself" and that "The social forces that Windrip and Trump invoke aren’t funny, they’re murderous." In the Washington Post, Carlos Lozada also compared Trump to Windrip, opining that "it is impossible to miss the similarities between Trump and totalitarian figures in American literature." Jacob Weisberg in Slate stated that "You can’t read Lewis’ novel today without flashes of Trumpian recognition." It Can't Happen Here - About the NovelKDX checked librivox_org for an audiobook reading of the novel, but for now only find other works of Sinclair Lewis.

Hats For Part 15 Engineer
Appreciate your contacting Michael Slate Show and bringing the good news it is part 15 friendly.
In my earlier post I was incorrect in saying we had a reading of the book "It Can't Happen Here". What it is is a detailed description of what the story is about and why it is relevant now... very interesting to listen.
