Age of Folly: America Abandons Its Democracy

London/NY: Verso Books. (2016). Lapham's final book, in which he recounts the recurring follies of "25 years of imperial adventure," culminating "in the sunset swamp of the 2016 election." Lapham was the longtime editor of Harper's magazine, a winner of the National Magazine Award for his columns, and in 2002 the Thomas Paine Journalism Award. Signed by the author. Fine in a near fine dust jacket, with very posthumous blurbs by Kurt Vonnegut and George Plimpton. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine.
