The Obama Inheritance: Fifteen Stories of Conspiracy Noir Edited by Gary Phillips; Three Rooms Press; 312 pages; paperback`
RESISTANCE takes many forms, particularly in the current political climate. Few methods of protest are as cheerfully strange and purposefully bizarre as The Obama Inheritance.
This collection of 15 short stories, inspired by right-wing conspiracy theories about the 44th president, take aim at the freak-show realities of the 45th. Talents such as Walter Mosley, Robert Silverberg and Kate Flora start with the right-wing delusions that Barack Obama was a closet Muslim, a Kenyan, a socialist or just the creator of death panels - and spin them out to their (illogical) conclusions.
