内容简介
······
From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Power Broker and The Years of Lyndon Johnson: an unprecedented gathering of vivid, candid, deeply revealing recollections about his experiences researching and writing his acclaimed books
作者简介
······
He's the author of The Power Broker (1974), for which he won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize. It's a biography of Robert Moses, an urban planner and leading builder of New York City. President Obama said that he read the biography when he was 22 years old and that the book "mesmerized" him. Obama said, "I'm sure it helped to shape how I think about politics."
Caro has also written four biographies on Lyndon Johnson, including The Path to Power (1982), Means of Ascent (1990), and Master of the Senate (2002), and The Passage of Power (2012), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. He's at work on a fifth and final volume about Lyndon Johnson, which he says will take him a few more years still.
评论 ······
Caro makes me feel less impatient, more passionate, and accept that good work takes time (assuming all the time the author's working on it..)
语言偏口语，简洁易懂，配有声书看，三五天就能看完。作者新闻科班出书，但不想只输出事实，便转向调查类新闻。书中回忆录的成分远多于新闻挖掘与写作的具体技巧，更像是作者两部主要作品的导读。一是the power broker二是lyndon johnson五卷传记(最后一卷还在写)。写的是人，展现则是权力的游戏。
为什么一生只写这两个人？权力的获取与运用。
无穷无尽的细节，阅读有时候也变成负担，更不用说写了，但也是一条路，人家确实写的好。
“翻开每一页。不要假定任何事。翻、开、每、一、页。”
