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

by T. B. Calder (Author)

Kirkus Reviews says: GET IT.

The Trump era, retold as scripture.

The Book of Don is a deadpan, mock-biblical chronicle of Donald Trump, television, power, politics, and America's talent for turning spectacle into belief.

From Queens to Manhattan, from The Apprentice to the White House, from the golden escalator to pandemic, insurrection, trials, exile, and return, the Scribe records the rise of Don in solemn, scriptural prose and offers no sermon.

The facts are allowed to speak for themselves.

At first, the story is funny because it sounds absurd.

Then it becomes unsettling because it sounds familiar.

Towers become temples. Campaigns become crusades. Television becomes prophecy. The sacred hill is breached. The plague does not observe Easter. And the chronicle remains unfinished, because the story itself refuses to end.

Neither a partisan rant nor a conventional political history, The Book of Don is a literary satire about power, belief, memory, and the country that made the spectacle possible.

Read it for the wit.

Keep it for the mirror it holds up to America.

Give it to anyone still asking: How did we get here?
