Review "As with the first volume, this one is a short, succinct, laugh-out-loud affair, and no one in the Trump administration is above Lithgow's eagle-eyed scrutiny.. A hilarious and pertinent parody to help pass the time until the November election decides the nation's fate." -Kirkus -- - From the Back Cover Following the success of New York Times bestseller Dumpty comes Volume 2 of award-winning actor and national bestselling author John Lithgow’s next book of satirical poetry chronicling the era of Trump madness.
