| Publisher Description: Foreshadowing: in books and film, a hint--sometimes ominous--of events to come Foreshadowing Trump examines four novels and one short shory that pre-date--that foreshadow--Trump: Herman Melville's last novel, The Confidence-man: His Masquerade, 1857, which one recent critic called "the Art of the Scam"; Mark Twain's short story, "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg," a story of greed and revenge; It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, published in 1935; George Orwell's 1984, published in 1949; and Philip Roth's The Plot Against America, published in 2004. Foreshadowing Trump also contains the complete Twain short story, "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg," and the fascinating backstory to Twain's work. |
