Bad Stories: What the Hell Just Happened to Our Country | 
pick#2022Book15
This book was well-written and included a lot of information that wasn't really covered throughout the 2016 election. However, as with most political books, a lot of the information is no longer as relevant several years later.

Almond takes a look at some of the political narratives we‘ve been telling ourselves and breaks down how they‘re “Bad Stories”, and how they‘ve made 2016‘s election result seem to come out of the blue. Underneath this, though, is the story of one writer trying to come to terms with the world suddenly being very different than he thought it was. Fascinating, personal, and raw.
pickOk why am I not hearing more about this fantastic book? Almond puts together the things we're already thinking in such an eloquent and cohesive way, and takes what we're already thinking and then elaborates on it more and brings it to the next level. A- freaking- plus.
Political identity as substitution for race or gender.
pickI cannot believe how beautifully written this book is! Whether you follow politics or not, this book is a great read. So many wonderful references just tied everything together so perfectly!
I can't stop. Even though it's so tragic.
I think I'm about to give up on this one. It's really good but so difficult to read without feeling utter despair. There's no good time of day to feel that.
Oof. Only two chapters in and I can tell this one's going to be tough. Important info and well written but so, so infuriating.
Page 2 Of 2. This book is really incredible so far.
I can‘t believe I left my book on the last plane! Thankful I have my Kindle with me as well!
Good morning all! Have my goldfish, caffeine and a book. First leg of my journey to Anchorage ✈️
pickDrawing on history, literature, and criticism, Steve Almond of Dear Sugars parses the bad stories that led to the ultimate bad outcome in November of 2016. This book gave me a much greater understanding of the cultural forces that led to the election of Donald Trump, and I feel more informed and empowered because of it. A quick, accessible read that I‘ll be thinking about and recommending for a long time to come.
A question I ask every day..What is going on here?
