Manny’s: Reading “The Botsworth Dossier” – A Novel on the Rise of White Nationalism

Hear author John Yewell read from his unique broadsheet novel, which follows Carol, a freelance journalist, across a 30-year investigation into the rise of White nationalism in modern America.

At the story’s dark center is William Botsworth, a charismatic white supremacist demagogue whose charm, as one character puts it, lies in making the secret desires of his racist supporters appear acceptable. Sound familiar?

Perhaps the most gripping feature of this book, beyond the strikingly apt parallels to Donald Trump’s America, is the medium through which it is printed. Both eye-catching and nostalgia-inducing, it is printed as a broadsheet newspaper novel on 35 lb. newsprint, 22′′ × 14′′. And each copy is wonderfully inexpensive ($10) and accessible. We’ll have a bunch on-site to purchase!

Author John Yewell will join us for a reading and to share with us his learnings of the rise of white nationalism in America. Come ready to sit back, listen, and enjoy.
