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
