Going to revisit McCain’s Promise aka the expanded/standalone “Up, Simba!” nonfiction by David Foster Wallace, given the midterms here in the US. Very interesting examination of the traditional campaign trail, and how the ideological veil starts to fall apart in ways the rallygoers don’t see from only one night or from the front end (Wallace readily admits he’s seeing things from the side rather than from “behind the scenes”).
