Genre: Satirical Fiction / Political Novel
It was May 2020. The world was in lockdown. CD Damitio was in Honolulu, watching everything collapse in real time — and he wrote this book while it was happening.
Three stories run in parallel: Donald Trump at the peak of his power trying to profit from a pandemic. Gaia — the Earth — who engineered the coronavirus as a corrective for the chaos eating her alive. And Bob — shaped like a sack of flour, unremarkable in every way, a man whose only unusual trait is that almost everyone he meets ends up liking him.
By the end: Trump is dying from the inside out. California has seceded. Texas has been annexed by Mexico. Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton are co-presidents. Alaska has joined the Bear and Salmon Republic.
This is the pandemic novel that didn’t flinch. Written in the first lockdown, completed before the year was over.
For readers of Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America, Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, and anyone who spent 2020 needing to laugh at something that wasn’t funny at all.
