Ishmael Reed continues his forty-year prophetic book project, The Terribles, brilliantly laying bare a country where truth and fiction are always trading places.
Terminte Control, the leading presidential candidate, is a necrophiliac and an Odin worshipper. He vows to both replace the English language with Old Norse, and tear down the Washington monument in favour of a golden statue of the Norse god.
Meanwhile, bear skin and horned helmets replace conventional business wear, and the rest of the world is convinced that America has lost its mind. They’re not wrong.

Fifty years after his novel Flight to Canada was published, Ishmael Reed introduces The Terrible Fives with the hard-hitting and revelatory essay “My Flight to Canada.” The author of “Writin’ is Fightin'” takes us through the often no-exit labyrinth of publishing and writing in the United States, and casts new light on great writers he collaborated with, including Toni Morrison, Adrienne Kennedy, James Baldwin, Malcolm X, Amiri Baraka, and more.
