Alt-Right

In this satirical and suspenseful contemporary political novel set in the years immediately before the election of President Donald Trump, Jimmy Brice dreams of restoring true American values. Raised in the 1970s by a militant and depressed working-class father and a sexually oppressed mother who is overly concerned with his bowel movements and masturbation, he tries to overcome his psychological damage through participation in nationalist militia groups and violence. Sally Yates, abused by her corporate-criminal father, becomes a martial arts expert and sharpshooter. After attending Yale and Harvard Law School she pursues a legal career supporting alt-right ideas and founds the Originalist Constitution Fund. Life-long friends and lovers, their complicated love evolves as Jimmy and Sally work together to implement a nationalist alt-right agenda. Through the Originalist Constitution Fund, Jimmy and Sally support gun rights, access to federal lands, segregated militia nations, alt-right economics and the use of violence. Satirical and suspenseful, the story takes startling twists and turns including a takeover of Yellowstone National Park by the Yellowstone Militia Nation, the establishment of the New African Nation in Georgia's Stone Mountain State Park, and Jimmy's journey to Sardinia to help the New Sardinian Armed Movement in its nationalist quest for independence from Italy. Mysterious Russian spies appear throughout. In the end, disgusted with the racism and violence of America, Jimmy and Sally conclude it is impossible to fulfill the ideals of the founding fathers because America was founded on slavery and genocide of Native Americans. Fleeing enemies, the story ends with their radical decision about what to do next.
