List Of Top Political Fiction Books 2017

By Lisa Morgan


Spotlight is always on magazines and newspaper columns when politics is discussed. However, there is a depth that political fiction books 2017 cover issues with that cannot be achieved by these news outlets. The coverage is awe inspiring with different approaches to each issue that reveals incredible perspectives to what most people only view naively. This is partly due to the diverse background of the authors in question.

1984 is a strange leader in this category considering that it was penned by George Orwell in 1949. It is an imagination of a future that seems to have caught up with humanity. He imagines a future where the world is under the control of super powers and where newspeaks and thoughtcrime are common place. The reality for this novel came to fore with the introduction of Macintosh by Apple in 1984. It would be also form the subject of 2007 Democratic primaries.

All the Kings Men is the work of Robert Warren that is also decades old. His subject is Willie Stark, a Louisiana politician who rises and falls through the pages. This is a story of sacrifices made by politicians and an interrogation of whether their hopes are realized. This literary masterpiece won the Pulitzer Prize for its exemplary narration.

What if the engine of the world could stop? This is the idea explored by Rand Ayn in Atlas Shrugged. The author is an apologist for capitalism as is show in his literary works. The novel has an admirable scope that will rattle any literary mind. It has won the price of the second most influential American book. The title is common among conservatives for its libertarian views.

Politics is difficult to divorce from military and war. Joseph Heller finds the subject easy to ridicule in his satirical title Catch-22. He is an impressive writer considering that this was his first book. He went an extra mile to introduce new lexicon to language. As you flip through the pages, it will be difficult to understand how this is a first novel for the writer.

Golding William is not an author who needs introduction. The Lord of Flies is a naturally selling title that approaches politics from a philosophical point of view. He explores the idea of civilization and whether it gets as deep as the soul. In his assessment, the soul never gets civilized considering what it can do when law and order are suspended. The results are dumbfounding.

Harper Lee is the author behind the revealing title To Kill A Mocking Bird. His exploration is the never ending debate about class and race. He sets his novel in Deep South during the 30s and uses an endearing 8 year old main character to tell his story. The characters created are also very endearing. It explores the subjects of justice and perseverance vs prejudice and hypocrisy.

Adults in the Room is a piece of work penned by Yanis Varoufakis, a socialist who rose to become the prime minister in 2015. As an economist lecturer, he thought that he had a solution to Greek financial crisis that did not include austerity. He will realize that these are just illusions. Something else controls the world.
