Basket of Deplorables

Description

A Manhattan party on election night. Liberal media types gather with big grins and high-end canapés to watch the Trump-Clinton results come in, expecting a smooth victory for Hillary. As the outcome shifts and they descend into panic, the host stands abruptly before her guests, confessing a shocking crime of years before.

What follows is a series of witty, cutting, addictive tales of Trump times, portraying Democrats and Republicans in a divided America, from powerful to powerless, angry to thwarted. From a Starbucks barista who dreams of making it onstage, to a couple whose online date goes bitterly awry, to a charmingly wicked US businessman living undercover in rural Italy.

Basket of Deplorables is a timely take on the craziness of today—almost-true fiction for a post-truth world.

Basket of Deplorables is a darkly humorous and timely collection that delves into political themes. It appeals to readers who enjoy fiction infused with politics and is comparable to shows like Veep and Black Mirror.
