“Cults Like US: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America”

Are cults rising in America? If you think they are, then this Literary Cocktail Hour is for you. Join author Jane Borden and Brattleboro Literary Festival committee member, Stephanie Greene, for an hour of discussion on Borden’s newest book.

Longlisted for a Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, this colorful and enlightening pop history explains why the eccentric doomsday beliefs of our Puritan founders still drive American culture today, contextualizes the current rise in division and extremism as a natural result of our latent indoctrination, and proposes the United States is the largest cult of all.
