What is the connection between misogyny and the extreme right? Is misogyny the original fascism? Freelance journalist Waylon Choy ponders these and other questions as he struggles to make sense of the murky alt-right world where he is chasing down those responsible for two rapes and an assault, putting a brave young woman into a coma. Are the young men who gather on an incel website message board simply pathetic or potentially dangerous? Does he share some of the responsibility for the assault because of refusing to help the victim when asked? Is he endangering his young intern by allowing her to accompany him on his investigation? Does his special worry about the safety of a young woman reveal his own sexism? In Misogyny, the third book of the FAKE NEWS series, Choy must make another road trip to solve a crime for which he feels personally responsible. Everything about the trip to Calgary makes him guilty, leaving his children, spending time with his children rather than assisting a young woman who came to him for help, even his means of transportation, a restored 1965 AMC convertible, which as his daughter so forcefully, and correctly, points out, spews significant carbon into the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming.Praise for the FAKE NEWS series... bring(s) the Hammett/Chandler tradition up to date in the nightmarish orange glow of the Trump era, telling stories of murder and conspiracy that take into account the punishing realities of class, gender and racial oppression in our times. ... The action is well plotted and propulsive, and readers who love the noir elements of the hard-boiled detective genre will find much to enjoy here.Tom Sandborn, Vancouver Sun
