What helps us understand – and, for some, to cope with – the outcome of the US elections? Of course, exit polls and analyses of seasoned observers, scholars, and political players are a necessary first step to grasp the situation. But there are other avenues that help us make sense of the current American moment, as host Claudia Brühwiler suggests: reading books that do not address the present specifically, but teach us more enduring lessons.
The books mentioned are:
- "Exit Ghost" by Philipp Roth
- "The Politics of Rage" by Dan T. Carter
- "They Called Us Enemy" by George Takei
