      From the acclaimed author of Listen, Liberaland What's the Matter with Kansas, a scathing collection of interlocking essays perfect for this political moment.

Holding nothing back, Frank skewers both the right and left, and rages about the systematic inequality that led, in 2016, to millions of anxious, ordinary people rallying to the presidential campaign of a billionaire who meant them no good. For those who despair of the future of America and of reason itself, Rendezvous with Oblivionis a booster shot of energy, reality, and moral outrage.
