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...

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。

三好学生皮特布特这之

Pete 2020!

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

#投名状式的竞选自传，规整流畅的藤校议论文，该说什么，不说什么都很清楚。像前任大统领一样，懂得修辞学的重要（相比之下，沃伦还是太实在了）。走的大致是马克龙路线，又能顾及信仰和族群政治，应会在初选发挥得不错。有趣之处不在作者（在某Yard里扔块石头都能砸伤两位类似的），而在于民主党为什么从史蒂文森开始，对此类候选人乐此不疲。
