In "An American Carol," Chadwick Bicknell delivers a powerful modern reimagining of Dickens' classic tale, where political division replaces miserliness as the protagonist's fatal flaw.
Alex Le Dumas, a progressive activist whose charity work has become increasingly radical, has cut himself off from his conservative family and ex-boyfriend Jack over political differences. After firing his assistant Claire for requesting the Fourth of July off, Alex is visited by the ghost of his deceased friend Megan, who warns him that three spirits will show him the consequences of his partisan hatred.
As the Ghost of America's Past (George Washington), Present (Marilyn Monroe), and Future (a sinister version of himself) guide him through visions of his life, Alex confronts uncomfortable truths about his motivations and the damage his rigid ideology has caused to those he loves. He witnesses his family's continued acceptance of his sexuality despite their political differences, his ex-boyfriend's successful life running both conservative and progressive organizations, and a bleak future where his actions lead to tragedy for those around him.
With wit, heart, and incisive cultural commentary, Bicknell crafts a timely parable about finding common ground in an increasingly polarized America. This unflinching yet hopeful story explores how partisan hostility damages personal relationships and offers a path toward understanding across political divides.
If you enjoyed "A Christmas Carol," "American Dirt," and "A Man Called Ove," you'll love "An American Carol."
