Michiko Kakutani, “In Books on Donald Trump, Consistent Portraits of a High-Decibel Narcissist” (2016)

“To read a stack of new and reissued books about Mr. Trump, as well as a bunch of his own works, is to be plunged into a kind of Bizarro World version of Dante’s Inferno, where arrogance, acquisitiveness and the sowing of discord are not sins, but attributes of leadership; a place where lies, contradictions and outrageous remarks spring up in such thickets that the sort of moral exhaustion associated with bad soap operas quickly threatens to ensue.”    —The New York Times (August 25, 2016)
