Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. When Lydia’s husband’s tell-all profile of Javier, the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city, is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.

The night Donald Trump won the presidency, our author Joel Stein, Thurber Prize finalist and former staff writer for Time Magazine, instantly knew why. The main reason wasn't economic anxiety or racism. It was that he was anti-elitist. Hillary Clinton represented Wall Street, academics, policy papers, Davos, international treaties and the people who think they're better than you. People like Joel Stein. Trump represented something far more appealing, which was beating up people like Joel Stein.

Brilliant Assessment, with Laugh-Out-Loud Humor
Revisado: 11-22-19
I was captivated by this book. Stein is a masterful storyteller, leading the reader along a journey of discovery into the face and root cause of populism in the US and how we ‘intellectual elites’ have fueled a culture war by scolding and looking down on those who don’t share our views. Stein casts himself as protagonist in self effacing humor and makes the earnest case for more listening, less judging and more restraint. I loved listening to his narration - I couldn’t put it down!
