Great Expectations by Vinson Cunningham
3.0
This book wasn’t what I expected. I heard Vinson Cunningham talk about the book and his experience on the campaign on the New Yorker Radio Hour, but this wasn’t really a political campaign story as much as it was a coming-of-age story. So don’t surprised when “the Senator” is hardly developed as a character.
Some of the writing is distracting—like "dolphinish teeth" for how rude it is, "verdant eyebrows," because I know he didn't mean someone has green eyebrows. But most of the prose is captivating, like the scenes at the bar, in the photos, and in childhood memories.
