Must read. The most timely and witty nonfiction book I've ever picked up. I don't care if you're a Democrat, Socialist, Trumpist, or Republican. Riveting history, too, from Sparta to Israel to Japan to Costa Rica. Loved the references from Woody Allen to Shakespeare and GB Shaw

Terrific bio novel that conjures up 1920s Berlin and the complex mind of a young woman longing to become a star.
