He watched her passport rise gradually out of the back pocket of her jeans in time with the rhythmic bobbing of her buttocks as she sucked him. He arched over her back and took hold of the passport before it landed on the pimpled floor. Despite the immediate circumstances, human nature obliged him to take a look at her passport photo.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Impersonation is a hot ticket in China\u2014with practice, chutzpah, and a little bit of luck, you can make a good living pretending to be a famous politician. (And they say America is the land of opportunity.) So now a national search is on for an ersatz Donald Trump, a swaggering caricature who can really channel that bigoted je ne sais quoi. Zou Dangrong, who runs an agency of impersonators in Beijing, believes he\u2019s found the perfect ringer: a retired music professor named Tang Xinhua. But can they get his skin to look orange enough? \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/11\/19\/world\/asia\/china-trump-impersonator.html?module=WatchingPortal&amp;region=c-column-middle-span-region&amp;pgType=Homepage&amp;action=click&amp;mediaId=thumb_square&amp;state=standard&amp;contentPlacement=4&amp;version=internal&amp;contentCollection=www.nytimes.com&amp;contentId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2016%2F11%2F19%2Fworld%2Fasia%2Fchina-trump-impersonator.html&amp;eventName=Watching-article-click&amp;_r=0&amp;mtrref=www.nytimes.com\" target=\"_blank\">The goal is to get Mr. Tang looking enough like Mr. Trump that he can impersonate the president-elect and entertain at lucrative company debuts, shopping mall openings and New Year\u2019s galas<\/a> \u2026 It is all good, clean fun with high artistic standards, [Mr. Zou] said \u2026 \u2018The hair color can easily be changed with dye jobs\u2014temporary color, not permanent, keeping it in for an hour or two,\u2019 [Mr. Zou] said. \u2018We\u2019ve asked tailors to make the same clothes that Trump wore in his campaign, though maybe from less expensive material.\u2019 \u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Here in America, Charles Simic is just trying to rake his leaves. But there\u2019s no domestic solitude to be found, not at a time like this: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2016\/11\/19\/trump-election-expendable-america\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Ship of State is sinking and a rooster is chasing a hen in a neighbor\u2019s yard<\/a>. How can that be? A woman is hanging her husband\u2019s underwear on the laundry line and singing to herself. The dead leaves are dancing on the ground while a few jump high in the air as if trying to get back on a branch they fell from. A strange dog in my driveway is looking off into the distance and wagging his tail. Don\u2019t any of them have patriotic feelings? The Ship of State, festooned with Trump\/Pence election signs, is sinking. Shouldn\u2019t we all fall silent in awe? The bare trees look spooked though it\u2019s past Halloween. The president-elect with a spyglass and his orange pompadour shouts from the crow\u2019s nest that he can see thousands of Muslims on rooftops in New Jersey still celebrating the collapse of the Twin Towers\u2014unless I\u2019m hallucinating, but who nowadays can be sure their eyes and ears work? If he is bonkers, as he surely is, many of us are too, like that woman hanging laundry to dry on a day cold enough to snow.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you think <em>writing <\/em>a poem is hard in Trump times, try <em>teaching <\/em>a poem.

She noted that Whitman\u2019s own racial attitudes were complex and that in many ways he did not transcend the prejudices of his time. At times he seemed to think of blacks as a less evolved race, \u2018and yet I think it is inspiring that, even though he was an imperfect vessel, he was able to articulate a vision of America in which we were all one.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Sinclair Lewis\u2019s 1935 novel,\u00a0<em>It Can\u2019t Happen<\/em> <em>Here<\/em>, is sold out everywhere online.
