Viewed through the prism of Adams's novel and the cultural phenomena listed above, rural England is a landscape that feels wild and free—not a bucolic sedative used to placate a nation, but a psychedelic pyre on which to smoke out old ghosts and grievances, to burn up serotonin and ritual bloodlust.
But there is yet another, perhaps more unnerving effect of these efforts by Trump affiliates like Rudy Giuliani to generate dirt on the Biden family and to taint the findings of the Mueller investigation: It is providing immense tinder for the pyre of propaganda that the Russian intelligence services may ignite for the 2020 election.
As Will and Phoebe picnic with mulled wine, make summer plans, rent a weekend house at the beach, Leal casts an ominous shadow for the reader, his chapters delivering a piecemeal sermon as he slowly and steadily pulls the young couple's strings and lays out, log by log, what will be his final masterpiece: a pyre.
