and contradictory: "few of Lowry's statements would pass muster with historians", and that Lowry's assertions about the unity, homogeneity and fixity of units such as Ancient Egypt, Korea, Japan and China "should be an embarrassment" to "any serious thinker." Pulitzer Prize winner Carlos Lozada was harshly critical of the book in a review for The Washington Post, describing it as an attempt to sanitize President Donald Trump's variant of nationalism and "part of a larger effort on the right to create an after-the-fact framework for Trumpism, to contort the president's utterances and impulses into a coherent worldview that can outlast him — a sort of rescue mission for the conservative movement." Lowry's first novel, the political thriller Banquo's Ghosts, was co-written with Keith Korman and published in 2009. The plot revolves around a nuclear-armed Iran and an inebriated leftist journalist. Personal life In June 2011, Lowry married Vanessa Palo at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in Manhattan.
