Bad Stories is Almond's effort to make sense of America's historical moment, to connect certain dots that go unconnected amid the deluge of hot takes and think pieces. The book argues that Trumpism is a bad outcome arising directly from the bad stories we tell ourselves. It is a lamentation aimed at providing clarity. Almond looks to literary voices to help explain the roots of our moral erosion as people.
