Novel, 1935A novel which is quite shocking and almost demands being read, not through intrinsic merit, but through the astounding reminder of how far and - since Trump - how very little we've from the Fascist blighted 1930s. The resistible rise rise of Buzz Windrip is incredible, both for the obvious and sometimes seeming too obvious parallels with the then contemporaneous goings on in Italy and Germany, but also for the terrifying examples where this is happening in America and elsewhere in Western democracies. A jaw dropper, which hides the fact the writing feels dated and a little stodgy at times.
