Kirkus Reviews says: GET IT.
The Trump era, retold as scripture.
The Book of Don is a deadpan, mock-biblical chronicle of Donald Trump, television, power, politics, and America’s talent for turning spectacle into belief.
From Queens to Manhattan, from The Apprentice to the White House, from the golden escalator to pandemic, insurrection, trials, exile, and return, the Scribe records the rise of Don in solemn, scriptural prose and offers no sermon.
The facts are allowed to speak for themselves. At first, the story is funny because it sounds absurd. Then it becomes unsettling because it sounds familiar.
Towers become temples. Campaigns become crusades. Television becomes prophecy. The sacred hill is breached. The plague does not observe Easter. And the chronicle remains unfinished, because the story itself refuses to end.
Neither a partisan rant nor a conventional political history, The Book of Don is a literary satire about power, belief, memory, and the country that made the spectacle possible.
Read it for the wit.
Keep it for the mirror it holds up to America.
Give it to anyone still asking: How did we get here?

T. B. Calder studied history and law at American universities, which was either excellent preparation for this book or a complete waste of time. They write satire and fiction exploring power, authority, and the myths we build around them. This is their first book.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. He came down from the tower, and America called it politics. In The Book of Don, the Trump era is recast as sacred history: the rise of a man who turned fame into power-and power into myth. Told in a voice that echoes scripture while refusing to worship the subject, this work of literary satire transforms recent history into something older, stranger, and more revealing. Towers become temples. Campaigns become crusades. Television becomes prophecy. And the line between performance and power disappears entirely. This is not a conventional political book. It is not journalism. It is not neutral. It is a chronicle of how spectacle became authority-and how a nation learned to speak its language. Inside this volume: The making of a public figure as origin myth.The art of the deal recast as doctrine.The media age rendered as gospel.The descent into politics told as prophecy fulfilled.A narrative voice that is equal parts reverent, ironic, and unflinching Some will read this as satire. Some will read it as commentary. Some will recognize it as something closer to mythmaking in real time. All of them will recognize the story. If you're looking for a standard political book, this isn't it. If you're looking for something sharper-something you'll underline, quote, and come back to-you've found it. A mock-Biblical satire of American politics, celebrity culture, and the national appetite for spectacle. This item is printed on demand.
