• Resumen

  • American Political Fictions is one of a couple of Americanist studies by Peter Swirski in recent years. In this book, he studies five cases of American political fiction, all published or released during the last few decades, including Heller’s Picture This (1998), LaHaye and Jenkins’ Left Behind (1995), Beaton’s A Planet for the President (2004), the rap by various artists and The West Wing by co-authors, obviously as a result of a careful selection. But why American political fictions? By answering this question first, we will understand how warranted Swirski’s study turns out to be.
