Paranoid Fiction

[rich]

on the current Nonfiction bestseller lists

depressing:

A handful of right-wing bestsellers have recast mundane cultural
dislocation into riveting epics of paranoia

really depressing:

And I further suggest that those literary historians who hope to
understand the salient psychology of our age put aside their Updikes
and Morrisons in favor of Becks and Malkins. They don't just rule the
bestseller lists, people. They own the future of belle lettres as
well.
