Erster Eindruck:
Der amerikanische Schriftsteller Robert Olen Butler nimmt einen spezifischen Moment als Ausgangspunkt für einen Rückblock auf das vergangene Jahrhundert. Es ist der Tag, als Donald Trump 2016 Präsident wird.
Ich habe erst einige Seite gelesen. Ich bin gespannt, ob Butler eine Entwicklung zeigen will, die einen Trump ermöglichte. Vielleicht ist das aber auch nur ein kleiner Aspekt der Handlung.
