As Darkness Falls From Notes Taken During the Great Pandemic 2020-2021

About the Book

As in his larger book, A Sharp Seasoning of Truth (2019), Pascal R. Politano does not focus totally on one subject, in this case, the devastating pandemic; rather, in addition to that scourge he addresses the ancillary, overlapping problems within the state of the Union and not least our system of governance. Politano suggests strongly that we are overdue for a change in the management of our “capitalist democracy,” to include revisions and clarifications in our Constitution, which has become obsolescent.
