商品描述

A satire for our demented times, following the arc of Donald Trump's career as it bends toward injustice, hits it, and then sinks still lower.

Few politicians in history have deserved lampooning as richly as Donald Trump. And few have gotten their just deserts served up as deliciously as they are in The Trumpiad, a work perceptively characterized by Stuart Klawans as "a true epic about a mock President." In their caustic, uproarious Trumpiad, poet Evan Eisenberg and artist Steve Brodner present a satire in verse for our demented times. Inspired by Swift, Byron, and Ogden Nash as much as by John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, Eisenberg sets the stage ("Muse, you're fired") and then traces our hero from the murk of his ancestry in the form of his grandfather Friedrich (an enterprising immigrant who ran a bordello) to the latest presidential high crimes and misadventures.

Using a rakish, endlessly flexible five-line stanza he calls the Emilick--the love child of Emily Dickinson and Edward Lear-- Eisenberg follows the arc of Trump's career as it bends toward injustice, hits it, and then sinks still lower. Brodner matches the poet punch for punch, in the spirit of such great satiric artists as Hogarth, Goya, and Daumier.

About the illustrator:

A regular contributor to the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Harper's, Esquire, Playboy, Mother Jones, the Nation, and the Los Angeles Times, Steve Brodner has been hailed by Lewis Lapham as "a born arsonist" and by Edward Sorel as "incomparable...the best caricaturist around." Widely credited with spearheading the revival of drawn satire over the past four decades, Brodner is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Hamilton King Award and the Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism.


This is the ballad of Donald Trump,

A tale of greed and gall;

A tragedy birthed before our eyes--

A man, his money, his mouth, his rise

And if there's a God, his fall.

--The Trumpiad

商品描述(中文翻譯)

對於我們這個瘋狂時代的諷刺，追隨唐納德·川普的職業生涯，彎向不公，撞上不公，然後更深地沉淪。

歷史上很少有政治人物像唐納德·川普那樣值得被嘲諷。而在The Trumpiad中，幾乎沒有其他人能像他一樣被如此美味地報應，這部作品被斯圖亞特·克勞文斯敏銳地形容為「一部關於模擬總統的真正史詩」。在他們尖銳、滑稽的Trumpiad中，詩人埃文·艾森伯格和藝術家史蒂夫·布羅德納以詩歌的形式呈現了對我們這個瘋狂時代的諷刺。艾森伯格受到斯威夫特、拜倫和奧格登·納什的啟發，也受到約翰·奧利佛和史蒂芬·科爾伯特的影響，設置了舞台（「女神，你被解雇了」），然後追溯我們的英雄從他祖父弗里德里希的模糊血統（這位經營妓院的有進取心的移民）到最新的總統重大罪行和不幸遭遇。

使用一種他稱之為艾米利克的五行詩節——艾米莉·狄金森和愛德華·利爾的愛之結晶——艾森伯格追隨川普的職業生涯，彎向不公，撞上不公，然後更深地沉淪。布羅德納則以拳對拳地回應詩人，體現了霍加斯、戈雅和多米耶等偉大諷刺藝術家的精神。

關於插畫家：

史蒂夫·布羅德納是New Yorker、Rolling Stone、New York Times、Harper's、Esquire、Playboy、Mother Jones、Nation和Los Angeles Times的定期貢獻者，路易斯·拉帕姆稱他為「天生的縱火犯」，愛德華·索雷爾則稱他為「無與倫比……最好的漫畫家」。布羅德納被廣泛認為是過去四十年來手繪諷刺復興的先驅，並獲得了包括漢密爾頓·金獎和阿隆森社會正義新聞獎在內的多項獎項。


這是唐納德·川普的民謠，

一個貪婪與膽量的故事；

一場在我們眼前誕生的悲劇——

一個人，他的金錢，他的口才，他的崛起

如果有神的話，他的墮落。

--The Trumpiad
