Publisher's Synopsis
Harpooning Donald Trump is the first substantial literary response to President Trump. In this collection of ten essays-written in controlled outrage-Tom LeClair recounts his weeks of solitary protests at Trump Tower and discusses literary works that give us a deep comprehension of Trump the man and cultural phenomenon. Although Harpooning Donald Trump is a collection, it's also a personal narrative: of an aged and discouraged novelist rejuvenated by street protest that leads him back to literary writing, to profound writers of the past and to promising writers of the future who can help readers understand and, perhaps, undermine the demagogue.
