About
How to read the Fantasy Years
The Fantasy Years is a novel about the magical effect a particular strain of popular politics has had on Americans throughout the 1990s. The blook is just as much about the forces that helped seed and shape extremist political views among the public as the end result of such views. Rush Limbaugh and right wing think tanks form the chorus, a handful of Americans muddling through the 1990s make up the cast.

Also: If the passages of political dialogues slow you down, skip them. Of course, to get the full experience of the narrative, reading all of the text – narrative and dialogue – is advised.
A new chapter will be posted every Thursday.
