Not only a must-read for anyone wanting to understand Trump’s
America but also a laugh-out-loud undiluted pleasure
*Will Storr, author of Selfie*
This is an important book - the indispensable book - for
understanding America in the age of Trump. It’s an eye-opening
history filled with brilliant insights, a saga of how we were
always susceptible to fantasy, from the Puritan fanatics to the
talk-radio and Internet wackos who mix show business, hucksterism,
and conspiracy theories.
*Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs*
Fantasyland presents the very best kind of idea – one that, in
retrospect, seems obvious, but which took a seer like Kurt Andersen
to piece together. The thinking and the writing are both dazzling;
it is at once a history lesson and an oh-so-modern cri de coeur;
it’s an absolute joy to read, and will leave your brain dancing
with excitement long after you’re done
*Stephen Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics*
An absorbing, must-read polemic.
*Newsday*
The most important book that I have read this year.
*The Last Word, MSNBC*
I’ve never read a history book that is as insightful and at the
same time as funny as this one.
*Steven Johnson*
This is a blockbuster of a book. Kurt Andersen is a dazzling writer
and a perceptive student of the many layers of American life. Take
a deep breath and dive in.
*Tom Brokaw*
Riveting…hugely entertaining.
*Mail on Sunday*
Charged with enough anger and wit to become necessary reading.
*Observer*
