Semi-Satirical Novel: Sinclair Lewis and Buffalo Springfield

semi-satirical novel: Buffalo Springfield, 1966Sinclair Lewis's widely read and semi-satirical 1935 novel It Can't Happen Here resonates chillingly with current events in the United States, according to MSNBC. Published as fascism rose to power in Germany, the dystopian novel describes the rise of Berzelius Buzz Windrip, a bombastic and populist demagogue elected President of the United States in 1936. What it is ain't exactly clear. Windrip's campaign combines a pledge for sweeping social reform with calls for a return to patriotism and traditional values. Sarason believes in propaganda, not science, facts, and truth. It is crafted by a shrewd and sinister newspaperman named Lee Sarason. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
