Novel Politics
Only
Fiction Can Do Justice to This Election
By
ROGER MORRIS
Only novels, I think, can readably account
(apologize) for this frantic, fervent U.S. election, smelling
of nasty national division if not under-the-breath civil war.
Three seemed obvious: Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men, about an unlettered but shrewd, megalomaniacal
yokel who rises to and abuses demagogic power on a wave of fearful
gullibility and resentment -- a classic, especially in its portrayal
of the men who use or cravenly bow to the politician, evoking
George W. Bush & Co. as much as the novel's prototype Huey
Long.
Then there's Gore Vidal's biting
1876,
summoning an all-too-relevant past election in which ingrained
corruption in both parties thwarted anything like informed popular
will -- and Reaction (the old South) came back to win the Civil
War (the first) after all. And not least, there's Catch-22,
Joseph Heller's deadly serious comic novel parading the institutional
and cultural madness of a martial, blithely hypocritical United
States -- a trap in which millions of people now feel caught.
Yet beneath the tawdry spectacle
to Canada's too-near south rumble still more elemental forces,
deep and dark and long in the making. Three other books, two
less obvious, go to that underside.
First is William Golding's
1954 novel Lord
of the Flies (Faber & Faber). The grim allegory of
English schoolboys stranded on an island and soon descending
into dictatorship reminds us how close lies our atavism. Aside
from the lead villains, a typically flawed, ambivalent hero,
and the memorable martyred Piggy -- bespectacled liberal and
constitutionalist in the midst of rapidly reverting savages --
most of Golding's boys are relatively immature, uneducated, credulous
creatures (swing/undecided voters), who in their plight respond
readily to primitive appeals to fear and demonization.
Look closely as they shed their
tattered Etonian jackets and ties to don skins and war paint,
and you may recognize much of America circa 2001-04, marooned
at home and abroad in a bewildering mix of power and powerlessness,
global integration and provincialism, dizzying change and stolid
ignorance, inevitable secularization and desperate sectarianism.
As for this election's historic
issue of America and the world, the Great Debate on foreign policy
and responsibility the nation could never face after 9/11, and
which both parties pusillanimously evade, no novel touches it
more intimately or unexpectedly than Khaled Hosseini's The
Kite Runner (Doubleday, 2003). It is an Afghan émigré's
barely fictionalized memory of his rich, haunting childhood in
Kabul in the 1970s, and the poignant sequel as his nation plunges
-- was pushed by East and West -- into unimaginable calamity.
In a timeless tale of innocence
and betrayal, honour and dishonour, love and jealousy, guilt
and redemption, Hosseini's flesh-and-blood Afghans offer vivid
evidence of how willfully oblivious the United States remains
to a world it presumes to dominate, how maddeningly puerile Washington's
dialogue, how ironic and doomed the pretense to impose some mercantile
"democracy" on ancient, more refined cultures as America's
own "democracy" vanishes beneath the tyranny of money.
Finally: Ann Patchett's unforgettable
Bel
Canto (HarperCollins, 2001). Drawn from an actual event,
it is the drama of a posh party taken hostage by guerrillas.
In the novelist's graceful hands, the headline-banal elements
of revolution, terrorism, tyranny and imperialism in all its
forms become the stuff of legend. As the siege moves inexorably
toward its bloody climax, most of the great lethal issues of
our time -- certainly what ought to be the real issues of this
election -- hover over us like a swaying, loosening chandelier:
class and perception, tribal bigotry and the enlightenment of
discovering a common humanity, clashing truths beyond the sterile
old paradigm of culturally corrupted concepts of right and wrong,
individual frailty surrounded by the vast power ceded to the
oligarchic state. When Patchett's captives come to know and
identify with their captors, there is more than a little resemblance
to the small band of ex-U.S. government officials who have spoken
out in 2004 to urge us, without success, to see the aggrieved
outside world beyond stereotypes.
For those who seek comfort
as well as symbolism, there is little rescue in my romans à
clef of the 2004 race. Nor in real life. Perhaps the U.S. electorate
will somehow surmount pervasive bipartisan sophistry. Perhaps
the reactionary half (and sometime majority) will come to understand
how much its predicament is due to the ersatz conservatism it
blindly follows. Perhaps President George W. Bush will experience
yet another life-changing epiphany, born again in a second term
as an enlightened leader. Perhaps Senator John Kerry gone to
the White House will leave behind his entourage of yesterday's
men, stop pandering to false and uninformed national pride, and
actually lead with a fresh idea or two. All doubtful.
Golding's howling cannibalistic
boys are delivered only by miraculous adult discovery, a search
plane and intervention not on the horizon for the United States.
Hosseini's tragedy must end in starting again with a new generation
in a different land. In Bel Canto, the oligarchs' U.S.-armed
special forces eventually tunnel into the midst of what has become
the captor-captive idyll of mutual understanding, and the result
is massacre.
In Pachett's novel, and sometimes
in politics, there is in the very end a kind of redemption, or
at least respite from the madness. But as in both, a lot of people
suffer and die in the meantime.
Roger Morris, who was a member of the National Security
Council Senior Staff under presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard
Nixon, is the author of Partners
in Power: The Clintons and Their America and The Money and the Power: the Making
of Las Vegas with Sally
Denton. His biography Richard
Milhous Nixon won a National Book Award Silver Medal. He
is currently completing for Alfred Knopf Shadows of the Eagle,
a history of US policy and covert interventions in Southwest
Asia over the past half century.
