David Baldacci is an enormously successful schlock fiction
writer whose titles, if book jackets are to be believed, have sold 130 million
copies worldwide. I picked up a copy of
his recent 2017 book, End Game, in
the Carolina Meadows library and am now eighty pages from finishing it. About a fifty pages ago, it suddenly dawned
on me that the character who is going to turn out to be the bad guy has a life
story that point for point parallels that of Donald Trump. Suddenly, what was a rather mediocre read has
taken on new interest.

About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.
