If you're a Sinclair Lewis fan, a dystopian devotee, and/or a political junkie of any stripe, StarShipSofa's most recent segment of Looking Back on Genre History is a must listen.

In Episode # 451, Dr. Amy H. Sturgis[livejournal.com profile] eldritchhobbit offers an entertaining -- if chilling -- discussion of Lewis's 1935 dystopian novel It Can't Happen Here. Lots of fascinating background on the book's origins, with (I think) a minimal number of spoilers. I haven't read this one yet myself, but it's just gone to the top of my Kindle's virtual Read Soon pile.

Find the episode here, or on iTunes.
