It Can't Happen Here

â€œThe novel that foreshadowed Donald Trumpâ€™s authoritarian appeal.â€â€”Salon

It Canâ€™t Happen HereÂ is the only one of Sinclair Lewisâ€™s later novels to match the power ofÂ Main Street,Â Babbitt, andÂ Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America.

Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitlerâ€™s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press.

Called â€œa message to thinking Americansâ€ by theÂ Springfield RepublicanÂ when it was published in 1935,Â It Canâ€™t Happen HereÂ is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as todayâ€™s news.
