Summary:
"I began reading King Lear again after the 2016 presidential election ... There are many differences between this play and current events but there are also some similarities. The vanity and folly of an aging man is a family tragedy. When that man is also the leader of a nation it becomes a tragedy for the whole country"--Colophon.
