"It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis | A Podcast Summary of Classic Novels

Sinclair Lewis published "It Can't Happen Here" in 1935 about a fascist ruler coming to power in the United States in the 1930s. From the perspective of Doremus Jessup, a journalist in a small Vermont town, we see the effects of a totalitarian takeover unfold. Inspired by Nazi Germany and the rise of populism in his time, Lewis shows us that it in fact, can happen here.

Thank you for this review of "It Can't Happen Here". I read it, along with several other of Lewis's novels, over 30 years ago, and feel this is more relevant than ever. I've recommended it to most of my friends and family, as it's a play book for things happening in today's politics.
