'But Hillary is a known Luciferian, ' he tried. 'She's not a known Luciferian, ' I said. 'Well, yes and no, ' he said. In The Elephant in the Room, Jon Ronson, the New York Times best-selling author of The Psychopath Test, Them and So You've Been Publicly Shamed, travels to Cleveland at the height of summer to witness the Republican National Convention. Along the way he reunites with an old acquaintance - the influential provocateur and conspiracy talk-show host Alex Jones - who draws him, unexpectedly, into one of the most bizarre presidential campaigns in American history. From the private Winnebago where conspiracy theorists and fearmongers discuss key campaign decisions to a chance encounter with notorious political operative Roger Stone, Ronson's picaresque journey into Donald Trump's atmosphere introduces us to the people who orbit the campaign machine and discovers what makes them tick - and what ticks them off. Whimsical, hilarious and often downright terrifying, The Elephant in the Room captures a defining moment in our time as only Jon Ronson could see it.… (plus d'informations)
Short but entertaining and intelligent take on the road Donald Trump has taken to presidential candidacy and some of the characters that have and continued to influence that journey. ( )
Elephant In The Room: A Journey Into The Trump Campaign & The 'Alt-Right' by Jon Ronson 2016 audio 4.0 / 5.0
Ronson shares his travels to Cleveland, to attend the Republican National Convention, as a spectator and reporter. He runs into an old friend, Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist host of a talk-show. He engages Ronson into discussing this presidential campaign, having a chance run in with Roger Stone while there. Ronson's short book is as funny as it is frightening. A book that captures a defining moment in American history. Worth a listen. ( )
I love Ronson’s work and his journalistic style, but this piece felt hurriedly slapped together: a collection of observations loosely tied together by Ronson’s friendship with Alex Jones. Overall, this piece lacked a thesis and was devoid of Ronson’s usual wit. ( )

The idea of Donald Trump and Alex Jones and Roger Stone and Stephen Bannon having power over us — that is terrifying.
