Sobre IBD

Revolution sweeps Louis Zander, a charismatic philosopher of art and politics known as L, into power as dictator of England. This skillfully composed story could be a fictional realization of the Cloward-Piven strategy or Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. It is a page-turner that traces the process by which one evil man seduces, perverts and destroys an entire nation. L could be Hitler, Stalin, or even the next Prime Minister or President. Jillian Becker was inspired to write this novel while researching her internationally best-selling book, Hitler’s Children: The Story of the Baader-Meinhof Gang.*L: A Novel History deserves to take its place among the great dystopias - The Trial, 1984, Atlas Shrugged - alas the most salient literary genre of the last hundred years. - Theodore Dalrymple, author of Life at the Bottom; Our Culture, What’s Left Of It; contributing editor City Journal; contributor Wall Street Journal. Penetrating as L is as a study of an artist-dictator’s mind, it is also very witty. There are situations reminiscent of the British TV series Yes Prime Minister combined with the cruelty of Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. - Dr. Josef Zaruba-Pfefferman, Institute of Art History, Charles University, PragueSuperbly engrossing - Kirkus Reviews 3
