The Hillary Clinton School of Literary Criticism

The most eye-catching aspect of Hillary Clinton’s widely reviewed, reviled, and literally discounted campaign memoir, What Happened, is her take on George Orwell’s 1984. Most readers interpret the novel as imploring us all to be skeptical of those in power. Clinton argues that authoritarianism is bad not because it tortures and kills people but, well, because it

sow[s] mistrust towards exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy.

In that vein, we’re happy present to you some other, lesser-known interpretations of classic works by Secretary Clinton.
