This week’s episode in our series on the great political essays is about David Foster Wallace’s ‘Up, Simba!’, which describes his experiences following the doomed campaign of John McCain for the Republican presidential nomination in 2000. Wallace believed that McCain’s distinctive political style revealed some hard truths about American democracy. Was he right? What did he miss? And how do those truths look now in the age of Trump?
More on David Foster Wallace from the LRB:
Jenny Turner on Wallace and his moment
‘The risk Wallace takes is to guess he is not the only "obscenely well-educated", curiously lost and empty white boy out there; that his sadness is also the experience of a whole historical moment.’
Patricia Lockwood on Wallace and his influence
‘It was the essayists who were left to cope with his almost radioactive influence. He produced a great deal of excellent writing, the majority of it not his own.’
Dale Peck’s notorious takedown of Infinite Jest
‘If nothing else, the success of Infinite Jest is proof that the Great American Hype machine can still work wonders.’

This week David talks to novelists Adam Biles and John Lanchester about the timeless appeal of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Why has it retained its hold far longer than other political allegories? Do readers need to know about the Russian history it describes? What makes the animals so relatable? Plus we discuss other favourite political allegories, from The Wizard of Oz to WALL-E.
Adam Biles’s new novel – inspired by Animal Farm – is Beasts of England, available now.
Read John Lanchester in the current issue of the LRB.

This week is the fiftieth anniversary of the coup in Chile that ended the life of Salvador Allende and marked the temporary death of Chilean democracy. We talk to the politician and economist Andrés Velasco and the writer and translator Lorna Scott Fox about their memories of the coup and their understanding of its significance today. What does it say about the unfulfilled promise and ongoing fragility of democratic politics, in Chile and beyond?
More from the LRB:
Lorna Scott Fox on the feminisation of Chile:
‘I doubt any of the men in a cabinet meeting are worrying about whether there is loo paper at home, as I do.’
Greg Grandin on Allende in power:
‘Allende was a pacifist, a democrat and a socialist by conviction not convenience.’
Michael Wood on Neruda and death:
‘The dead are never entirely dead in Neruda’s poems, forgetting and remembering are always entangled.’
