Mark Leibovich is The New York Times Magazine chief national correspondent, based in Washington, D.C. In 2011, he received a National Magazine Award for his story on Politico's Mike Allen and the changing media culture of Washington. Prior to coming to the Times Magazine, Leibovich was a national political reporter in the Times' DC bureau. He has also worked at The Washington Post, The San Jose Mercury News and The Boston Phoenix, and is the author of The New Imperialists, a collection of profiles on technology pioneers. 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.
文/何德恺 在之前,一直都深信西方国家的政治是较为清明的,因为执政方式和理念不同,取得的成效也有所不同。和某大国不同,形成了一种政治上的垄断,也导致了国内官僚主义膨胀,各种政治上的弊端也昭然若揭。相对于一个政党,两党制在吏治方面其实还是存在较为明显的优势的,...
評分有美剧《纸牌屋》珠玉在前,这本《真实世界的纸牌屋》想必也会吸引不少政治迷的目光。本书副标题是《华盛顿政治圈背后的隐秘力量与规则》,刻画了一个个权力圈、名利场、新闻界的生动脸谱,最关键的是,这些脸谱都是有名有姓、活生生的真实人物。在新闻界,还有什么比揭露名人...
評分《真实世界的纸牌屋》英文版原名This Town,作者是《纽约时报周刊》首席记者马克•列伊博维奇。本书由一个一个有据的传闻构成,虽不及美剧《纸牌屋》般云诡波谲,但因为真实,更加津津有味。书中一个一个华盛顿人的故事,他们置身于一个政治场中,玩着自己的”硬球“。 书出...
