Book Report is a brief essay commissioned by The Wattis Institute for the book Is Now the Time for Joyous Rage, a tribute to artist Lorraine O’Grady. The essay builds on on the 2017 film of the same name, which explores sexual assault, the weaponization of language, and the futility of escape. Both essay and film combine short sequences of Mad Men’s Don Draper reading books and relevant facts about the 2016 presidential campaign—including a history of the hashtag #trumpbookreport and notes on a payment to the mysteriously named “Draper Sterling” ad agency.
