Books: ‘The Edge of Anarchy’
By
Wiley Wood

We are conscious of living in a time of bitter factionalism and stark polarization, but there is possibly some comfort in knowing that the country has seen worse. Jack Kelly’s “The Edge of Anarchy” (Saint Martin’s Press, 2018) takes us back to the 1890s, the so-called Gilded Age, a time of great income disparity and economic turbulence that produced social upheavals on a scale we have not seen in our lifetimes.

In the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election, candidate Donald J. Trump, a reality television star on his third marriage, was quoted saying that if Ivanka was not his daughter he’d like to date her, a tape was released of him bragging to a TV journalist about how women let him grab them “by the pussy,” and he claimed that the Bible was his favorite book but he was unable to quote a single verse from it.  
In 2016, 80 percent of evangelicals voted for Trump.

Reimagining ‘The Iliad’ From a Woman’s Point of View
