Between the raving idiot and raging old man there floats but a razor's edge. But why pay attention? To either? To both? David Wolinsky's answer - and book - proposes that while the rage of a Lear expresses a king's destruction in the face of world-shattering events, we may find rage appropriate and necessary in our own world-circumstances. The two plagues of his title are the coronavirus pandemic and Donald Trump's America. The latter is named directly in "Politix Comix", "Trumpettes of the Lord" and "Rhyme of the Wall". Section III of the book offers a sequence of 13 short "plaguelings". Psalm and sermon, Socrates, Superman, baseball and black butterflies all make appearances. Lear shows up by name twice - the second time in the company of David's grandpa Julius. And then… Around the bend reality itself will bend. The world will not end, no, but that is not consolation.
