Inspired by Swift, Byron, and Ogden Nash as much as by John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, Eisenberg sets the stage (“Muse, you're fired”) and then traces our hero from the murk of his ancestry in the form of his grandfather Friedrich (an enterprising immigrant who ran a bordello) to the latest presidential high crimes and misadventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a rakish, endlessly flexible five-line stanza he calls the Emilick—the love child of Emily Dickinson and Edward Lear— Eisenberg follows the arc of Trump's career as it bends toward injustice, hits it, and then sinks still lower. Brodner matches the poet punch for punch, in the spirit of such great satiric artists as Hogarth, Goya, and  Daumier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the illustrator:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA regular contributor to the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker, Rolling Stone, \u003c\/i\u003ethe\u003ci\u003e New York Times, Harper's, Esquire, Playboy, Mother Jones, \u003c\/i\u003ethe\u003ci\u003e Nation, \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times,\u003c\/i\u003e Steve Brodner has been hailed by Lewis Lapham as “a born arsonist” and by Edward Sorel as “incomparable…the best caricaturist around.” Widely credited with spearheading the revival of drawn satire over the past four decades, Brodner is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Hamilton King Award and the Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the ballad of Donald Trump,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e       A tale of greed and gall;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tragedy birthed before our eyes—\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA man, his money, his mouth, his rise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e       And if there's a God, his fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe Trumpiad\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terra Nova Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219359199487,"sku":"9781949597035","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781949597035_s600x595.jpg?v=1782324224","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781949597035","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
