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.
基本上在campaign trail上說的都有在書裏提到,也是第一次看到有人對Make America Great Again有力的反駁。在川普隨意簡化問題的時候,他有能力把很多nuance解釋清楚。祝他好運吧。
評分快速翻完覺得他太實誠瞭 哈佛的遊行學生是"social warrior" 在遇到現在的丈夫之前從來沒有"fall in love" dorothy覺得他很假 其實要在cambridge呆過確實很能體會他說的Harvard T就是世界上最worldly的地方的感覺也 沒有太多政策相關的內容 not very presidential, yet
評分memoir of a presidential candidate after all. "Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way around is the shortest way home."
評分Pete for President
評分工整的命題作文,有讀簡曆的感覺。Buttigieg還是資曆太淺瞭,哪怕對他的能力和理性有200%的信任(會說包括Arab在內至少六門語言誒!),但沒有聯邦層麵的經驗還是太大的短闆。but again, no one seems to care these days
这是一个只把古稀当青年、老夫聊发少年狂的时代。民主党目前处于第一集团的四位总统候选人中三位超过70岁,传统意义上的青年人只有Pete Buttigiege一位,他目前已经在爱荷华初选民调中领跑。昨天晚上的辩论没有重现此前“枪打出头鸟”的景象,Buttigiege没有遭受猛烈的炮火攻击...
