Wrestling with Shadows oleh Emanuel Pastreich

This novel relates the mysterious, and at times outlandish, adventures of a naïve professor who was caught up in a whirlwind of mysterious events, starting just before the 2000 US election that opened the gates of hell. This process would carry him far beyond anything he imagined possible and land him in Korea to continue his battle against corporate fascism. The novel limns the political chaos that swept the United States after August, 2000 and relates the desperate battle of a handful of people in Washington D.C. to try to keep the nation from collapsing into anomy--including descriptions of several events that, although well-known to insiders, have never been treated in print anywhere. The novel also relates the protagonists adventures in Korea, his ill-fated bid to return to the United States and his final battle against in the forces of evil led from a small town at the very southern tip of the Korean Peninsula.
