A Gaslight in the Attic


Book Description

A Gaslight in the Attic is an expert satire of the Donald Trump presidency written from the perspective of the man himself! The book parodies the Shel Silverstein classic "A Light in the Attic" with original poems chronicling Trumpisms, his lies and contradictions and the classic "look this way so you don't see that" gaslighting at its best! The over 70 hilarious original poems include original Shel Silverstein-esque pen and ink illustrations to enjoy along with it! You will find Trump's thoughts on Melania, Ivanka and Jared, Joe Biden, Kim and Kanye, Kim Jong Un, Vladmir Putin, Bill Barr, Rudy Guiliani, his fellow Republicansand as Trump deems it, the "enemy of the people", the free press and many more! You will see what happens when he ignores the science of climate change or basic protocols in a pandemic while getting a front row seat to the conspiracy theory brainstorming sessions, Trump rallies, tax payer funded golf trips and a GOP run sham of an impeachment "trial." The rhyming lyrical prose is perfect for whimsical fans of Shel Silverstein, political fanatics and fans of satire! Matt Lassen is a Brooklyn based cartoonist, comedy writer and illustrator. He has been a MAD Magazine contributor for over a decade and has been featured in Complex Magazine, BuzzFeed, USA Today, GoComics and the Huffington Post to name a few.
