In this witty combination of memoir and observation, Thomas Geoghegan addresses the widespread cynicism about our government and explores what it means to be a "national" civil servant and a "local" citizen. "This is unlike any public-policy book I've ever read: part Catcher in the Rye, part The Road to Wigan Pier, part The Federalist Papers, it is mesmerizing, rueful, painfully honest, and never, ever dull". -Nicholas Lemann, author of The Big Test "Extraordinary. It has the essential trait of a memorable book, in that after reading it you look at daily life in a lastingly different way". -James Fallows, author of Breaking the News "[Geoghegan] has written a book that is not only compelling to read but that provokes us to seriously reflect on the choices we make and how we spend our time". -Jonathan Coleman, Washington Post Book World "Geoghegan's language is playful. . . . Personal reminiscence mixing with historical anecdote, dipping into complex themes . . . shifting from wistful nostalgia to dark comedy". -Robert B. Reich, New York Times Book Review "A truly strange and wonderful book". - William Finnegan
