A good read for knowing bipartisanship with refreshing meaning after 2018.
评分华盛顿13年年末的must-read. 我以前也会时不时地把和The Club的proximity当作骄傲,时间长了才会发现,这是个非正常的城市,那些起起落落,名呀利呀都是过眼烟云。

评分此书结语中直言不讳地承认:纵观华盛顿的游戏,最令人沮丧的结论是,权钱交易已经彻底地程序化,在这其间,媒体则极尽煽动之能事,成为权钱交易的有效润滑!我想问,这是不是体制问题呢?

Mark Leibovich is The New York Times Magazine chief national correspondent, based in Washington, D.C.

Leibovich lives with his family in Washington.
Tim Russert is dead.
But the room was alive.
Big Ticket Washington Funerals can make such great networking opportunities. Power mourners keep stampeding down the red carpets of the Kennedy Center, handing out business cards, touching base. And there is no time to waste in a gold rush, even (or especially) at a solemn tribal event like this.
Washington—This Town—might be loathed from every corner of the nation, yet these are fun and busy days at this nexus of big politics, big money, big media, and big vanity. There are no Democrats and Republicans anymore in the nation’s capital, just millionaires. That is the grubby secret of the place in the twenty-first century. You will always have lunch in This Town again. No matter how many elections you lose, apologies you make, or scandals you endure.
In This Town, Mark Leibovich, chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, presents a blistering, stunning—and often hysterically funny—examination of our ruling class’s incestuous “media industrial complex.” Through his eyes, we discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of the year. How political reporters are fetishized for their ability to get their names into the predawn e-mail sent out by the city’s most powerful and puzzled-over journalist. How a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more potent “brand” than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration bent on “changing Washington” can be sucked into the ways of This Town with the same ease with which Tea Party insurgents can, once elected, settle into it like a warm bath.
Outrageous, fascinating, and destined to win Leibovich a whole host of, er, new friends, This Town is must reading, whether you’re inside the Beltway—or just trying to get there.
“对于那些想在全美范围内寻求自我价值、个人再造、出人头地的人而言,华盛顿是全美最受欢迎的三个城市之一。不管他们曾有过怎样的经历,或者说正是因为他们曾有过那样的经历,他们工作起来才非常投入。通常情况下,大家都在玩儿命地干。对我而言,这才是华盛顿故事里最精彩的...
评分 评分这本书的中文版名字是《真实世界的纸牌屋》,作者是大报记者,讲述了华盛顿(This Town)的政治-媒体-游说集团的生态圈故事:大腕们是怎么get ahead的,怎么在pecking order上生存的,华盛顿的政治秀场是如何运作的……可能是之前同类题材较少的缘故,这本东鳞西爪,道听途说,...
