Earlyworld greift unter dem Titel «Back to the Future» das Thema «Bestseller «1984»» auf und erwähnt, dass auch «It can’t happen here» von Sinclair Lewis aus dem Jahr 1935 steigende Verkaufszahlen aufweist:
«As we posted earlier, 1984 is not the only classic getting increased attention since the election. Sinclair Lewis’s 1935 novel, It Can’t Happen Here (PRH/Signet; Blackstone Audio; OverDrive Sample), is also selling well, both in the US and the UK. Penguin re-printed it in Britain last Friday for the first time since its original publication date and adds that they are “already on to our third printing.”»
