Exposing the Anti-Woke Movement

In this episode of Lean to the Left Podcast, host Bob Gatty talks with Mark S. Bacon, author of the novel ‘The Woke in the Dead.’ The novel critiques right-wing ideologies by exploring the derogatory use of the term ‘woke.’ Bacon shares his inspiration for the book, including his reaction to how conservative politics and hate groups use ‘woke’ pejoratively. The book features a bigoted Arizona governor and intertwines themes of murder, hate crimes, and corruption. Bacon discusses the importance of fiction in addressing social issues and his goal to engage and entertain readers while shedding light on contemporary societal problems. The conversation concludes with thoughts on U.S. politics and promotion details for Bacon’s book, available on Amazon and various eBook platforms.
