Great read, especially his take on turning us all into consumers instead of citizens, and stripping away small business owners on Main Streets everywhere in favor of the cheaper megastore controlled by the 1% instead. That same push fuels racism and white supremacy and makes the urban/rural divide even greater. This book can help to fuel the fight against white supremacy and corporate control.

The new tradition of pummeling America at its best. Perhaps if the author had the courage to present this book as autobiographical rather than coyly hiding behind the guise of fiction. I think, however, most readers see through it. Narcissistic, destructive and, ultimately, cowardly.

An important and moving book. Read it.
