SINCLAIR LEWIS - GEBRAUCHT IT CAN HAPPEN HERE ...

The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump's authoritarian appeal.-Salon It Can't Happen Here is
the only one of Sinclair Lewis's later novels to match the power of Main Street  Babbitt  and
Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy  it is an alarming  eerily
timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression 
when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler's aggression  it juxtaposes sharp political
satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the
nation from welfare cheats  sex  crime  and a liberal press. Called a message to thinking
Americans by the Springfield Republican when it was published in 1935  It Can't Happen Here is
a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today's news. With an
Introduction by Michael Meyer and an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst
