Considered one of the great writers of the current narrative of the United States, AM Homes, stated this Thursday that Donald Trump is “a failed businessman, a gold sink that has gone bankrupt seven times” with a desire to divide Americans. .
The writer spoke in Barcelona about her latest novel, “The Revelation,” and, without biting her tongue, gave her opinion on how she sees her country on the verge of elections that the Republican candidate and former President Trump can win again.
“Only today,” he warned, “I will go a little further to talk about Donald Trump and say that I am especially concerned not only about whether he is a delinquent or a criminal, because, in fact, there are many world leaders who are; nor that he is a sexual aggressor, that also, what worries me is that he is someone without any vision, without any dream.
The novelist regretted that he does not have “any view beyond himself,” at a time when all the world’s economies are interrelated, with global societies, and with important war conflicts.
Instead, “he only sees himself, which is a problem, a nightmare.”
His latest work, “The Revelation,” is his most political, a fierce satire on power, freedom and American identity, which takes place in just six weeks, starting with the victory of Democrat Barack Obama in November 2008. and until his inauguration in January 2009.
In this period, some Republican millionaires, donors to the party, set in motion a conspiracy, in front of which is a man called Big Fish, eager to act against the government that came out of the polls.
At the same time, Pez Gordo lives a complicated family situation with a woman, Charlotte, with a serious alcoholism problem, and a teenage daughter, Meghan, educated in elitist schools and who begins to question everything she has experienced so far.

AM Homes also gives its opinion regarding Biden
AM Homes said that when he began writing the book, Trump “was not even on the horizon,” but he was clear that politics was increasingly responding “less” to the needs of the people and that its only driving force was money.
He sees the year 2008 as a turning point, due to Obama’s victory, although it also led to the awakening of “latent racism and sexism, which has not stopped growing since then.”
“I wanted to see what was happening, to see another version of reality, to those men who were rich and, at the same time, very upset because Obama had won the elections and to see what would happen if they tried to alter the political system to claim what would be their own version of democracy, that of the founding fathers, white men, with power and authority,” he said.
Although he affirmed, for all this, that his Big Fish has nothing to do with Trump, he did let it slip that he little imagined then, when he began to outline this story, what would happen on January 6, 2021, when the assault on the Capitol.
As for Joe Biden, the North American indicated that he is someone who does not draw attention to himself, that he has done “a good job, more than he is recognized for,” and that he allows himself to be advised.
“Biden is basically what we would call an official, with practically no private agenda,” he added.
However, in these “complex times”, the money from electoral campaign donors has grown compared to 2008 “exponentially” and they now offer “dark money that is laundered through companies that cannot be traced, buying directly to the candidate to do what they want.”
Although this satire has had fewer readers than his other titles such as “Hopefully we will be forgiven”, AM Homes believes that it is necessary to reflect what is happening in his country, be “realistic and honest”, and writers, journalists, artists should be “the voice and document his own time.”
