A mayor’s inspirational story of a Midwest city that has become nothing less than a blueprint for the future of American renewal.
Once described by the Washington Post as “the most interesting mayor you’ve never heard of,” Pete Buttigieg, the thirty-six-year-old Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged as one of the nation’s most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a “dying city,” because the industrial Midwest beckoned as a challenge to the McKinsey-trained Harvard graduate. Whether meeting with city residents on middle-school basketball courts, reclaiming abandoned houses, confronting gun violence, or attracting high-tech industry, Buttigieg has transformed South Bend into a shining model of urban reinvention.
While Washington reels with scandal, Shortest Way Home interweaves two once-unthinkable success stories: that of an Afghanistan veteran who came out and found love and acceptance, all while in office, and that of a Rust Belt city so thoroughly transformed that it shatters the way we view America’s so-called flyover country.
Pete Buttigieg, born in Indiana in 1982, is currently serving his second term as mayor of South Bend. A dynamic national lecturer and TEDx speaker, as well as a Rhodes Scholar and Navy veteran, Buttigieg was educated at Harvard and Oxford. He and his husband, Chasten Glezman, live in South Bend, Indiana.
【有聲書】雖然和其他總統候選人相比Buttigieg名不見經傳,但了解他的經歷之後就不難理解他蒸蒸日上的受歡迎程度。他的公共服務經驗要遠遠高於現在坐在白宮裡的那個冒牌貨。Buttigieg真可以說是年輕有為,29歲成為市長。在出櫃後仍然可以在較為保守的城市連任成功。現在參選總統,竟可以在Fox News的town hall和觀眾引起共鳴,贏得掌聲和歡呼。他要和政見不合的同僚和選民建立溝通的橋樑的信念是極為高尚和英明的。也許是因為他太聰明了記憶力好,書裡敘述了太多小的細節經歷,有時會感覺喧賓奪主或者不知道故事的目的所在(所以減一星)。總而言之,Buttigieg很有潛力,前途無量。不得不承認他的崛起也歸功於美國的政治體系。
评分memoir of a presidential candidate after all. "Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way around is the shortest way home."
评分比较不出意料的空洞
评分三好学生皮特布特这之
评分基本上在campaign trail上说的都有在书里提到,也是第一次看到有人对Make America Great Again有力的反驳。在川普随意简化问题的时候,他有能力把很多nuance解释清楚。祝他好运吧。
