Jon Hickey on the politics of apocalypse
Update: 2025-05-14
Description
Host Nathan Maharaj spoke with novelist Jon Hickey, author of Big Chief. It's takes place in an Anishinaabe reservation called Passage Rouge Nation during the last weekend before a Tribal Presidential election. Incumbent president Mack Beck is coasting to another term happily overseeing tribal governmental matters as well as the Golden Eagle Casino and Hotel when his rival, activist Gloria Hawkins begins gaining steam in the home stretch. Gloria's campaign, by the way, is being run by Mack's estranged sister Layla, while his own campaign is run by his childhood friend and local boy made good in law school Mitch Caddo, who by the way seems to have almost had a thing with Layla back when they were kids.
