✦ Synopsis

Almost true stories for a post-truth world
A Manhattan party on election night. Liberal media types gather with big grins and high-end canapés to watch the Trump-Clinton results come in, expecting a smooth victory for Hillary. As the outcome shifts and they descend into panic, the host stands abruptly before her guests, confessing a shocking crime of years before.
What follows is a series of witty, cutting, addictive tales of Trump times, portraying Democrats and Republicans in a divided America, from powerful to powerless, angry to thwarted, from a Starbucks barista who dreams of making it onstage, to a couple whose online date goes bitterly awry, to a charmingly wicked US businessman living undercover in rural Italy.
Basket of Deplorables is a timely take on the craziness of today: almost-true fiction for a post-truth world.

Tom Rachman is the author of two novels,The Rise and Fall of Great Powers (2014) and The Imperfectionists...
