Why people recommend it
The Year of Voting Dangerously: The Derangement of American Politics is a collection of columns chronicling the tumultuous 2016 presidential race and the political figures at its center. On The Book Review podcast episode titled 'Maureen Dowd on Clinton and Trump', host Pamela Paul reminded listeners of the book title and author at the end of the interview. Pamela Paul initially introduced guest Maureen Dowd by highlighting that the book compiles her columns regarding the presidential campaign and her extensive years covering both Clinton and Trump. During the interview, the host asked Dowd about the structural choices in her work, specifically inquiring about the interludes featuring various family members and how she decided to incorporate them. Furthermore, Pamela Paul discussed the compilation process, noting that Dowd likely had to review her earlier columns and writings about both political candidates before organizing them into the final manuscript. Throughout the podcast segment, the book served as the primary framework for examining the state of American political commentary and the personal perspective Dowd brought to covering the intense election cycle.
