I became familiar with Bosch because a detail from his painting The Last Judgement was on the cover of an early paperback edition Kosinski's The Painted Bird..

I thus became familiar with his work. Increasingly we are living in a Boschian hell in at least a psychological sense.

I'll have to read it again, as it now would make me imagine a trip thru MAGAworld.

It works for Trump, Hegseth, and the rest of the snools too.
