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.

读后感

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...

用户评价

从书中可以窥见美国政治在城市级别的运行模式，也可以看到治理的不易，尤其对于一个中西部在衰落中的城市。作者对于自己作为政治人物，作为性少数群体的一员，以及自己作为一个人的探寻与反思，都非常诚恳和真挚。

memoir of a presidential candidate after all. "Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way around is the shortest way home."

not very interesting book, 但他依然是我的英雄，indiana的移民家庭小孩，上了名校去了麦肯锡，参军，big name is short cut. understand business language, being a mayor, something funny 是他希望市长的symbolic工作外包出去。写道遇到他爱的人，想要visualize his darkness, think you're escaping and run into yourself longest way round is the shortest way home。看似平平常常，但是他让我看到了希望。

pushing through the boring middle section was probably the only downside
