Book Club: It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis

  • Emmanuel Episcopal Church 811 Cathedral Street Baltimore, MD, 21201 United States (map)

Emmanuel’s Book Club meets following the 10:30 service to discuss this major work by the Nobel laureate author, a novel written during the rise of fascism in Europe that imagined a similar fascist takeover in America. America's dictator, Buzz Windrip, was inspired not only by Louisiana populist Huey Long but also by the less-known William Dudley Pelley, an American writer of sentimental fiction turned New Age fascist.
