Reading memoirs
I see that Sen. John Fetterman has a memoir coming out this November, titled (unsurprisingly) "Unfettered." I suspect a lot of it will be about his struggles with depression and a stroke, but politics can't stay too far away. It's a rough time to be in the Senate right now, especially as a Democrat, and I'm hoping some of that will come out in his book.
Many political memoirs are disappointing, largely because what the political figure thinks is interesting (their grandmother, an interesting conversation they had with a steelworker in Gary) is not really what we are after when we buy the book-- we want to know what they really did at work.
Speaking of memoirs... aren't we still waiting for Obama's volume 2?
