RaveThe Guardian (UK)... an elegant yet lacerating volume, A Brief Intellectual History of the Trump Era ... Lozada is capable of waspishness himself. By design, this is a brief survey; his need to use just a few lines to sink any given book comes to seem unavoidable, even perhaps unfair ... On the other hand, it’s gratifying when Lozada ensnares and punctures a writer with whom one does not see eye to eye ... In a low period for American democracy, Lozada aims high ... In doing so, he rightly considers a host of books which are very much not Chaos Chronicles – which, on the face of it, are not actually about Trump at all. Such works are examined in chapters on books about Trump voters in the heartlands; on the resistance; on immigration; on conservative thought; on the nature of truth itself ... If we cannot tear our gaze away, Lozada shows us how best to look.
