Who’s the real dupe? Is it the power-hungry schemer whose delusions of grandeur allow him to believe he can rule the world, only to destroy himself and all else in the process, or the gullible masses which gave him that power in the first place? The Dupe is a satirical yet timely and immensely enjoyable novel which explores what drives a charismatic leader to seek total control, and what compels devoted followers to obey without question. But whichever you are, watch your step; it may not be leading just where you expect.
