"It Can't Happen Here". Sinclair Lewis. [View all]

Out of curiosity, and a notion to check this book out (I read it many decades ago, remember nothing about it), I went to the library site to check it out. Out of eight copies, none are available. Wait time about four weeks.

Discuss as you please. Hopefully I'll remember to come back and see what you all think.

I will note that the first line of the description is:

“The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s authoritarian appeal.”—Salon
