Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. First Back Bay paperback edition, June 2008, 1st printing. 124pp. "McCAIN'S PROMISE was originally published in December 2005 under the title 'Up, Simba' in David Foster Wallace's nonfiction collection Consider the Lobster, and was published in a heavily edited form in Rolling Stone in April 2000." Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Is John McCain 'For Real'? [] That's the question David Foster Wallace set out to explore when he first climbed aboard Senator McCain's campaign caravan in February 2000. It was a moment when McCain was increasingly perceived as a harbinger of change, the anticandidate whose goal was 'to inspire young Americans to devote themselves to causes greater than their own self-interest.' And many young Americans were beginning to take notice. [] To get at 'something riveting and unspinnable and true' about John McCain, Wallace finds he must pierce the smoke screen of spin doctors and media manipulators. And he succeeds--in a characteristically potent blast of journalistic brio that not only captures the lunatic rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign but also delivers a compelling inquiry into John McCain himself: the senator, the POW, the campaign finance reformer, the candidate, the man." [publisher copy] "Wallace conveys a geniuine disillusionment at the sham of the whole arrangement: the endless political posturing, the robotic news coverage. . . At the same time, he recognizes McCain's essential magnetism."--Steve Almond, Los Angeles Time Book Review. "Wallace's inexperience as a campaign reporter is an advantage here, leading to unvarnished insights."--Ariel Gonzalez, Miami Herald. "Bracingly insightful."--Pankaj Mishra, New York Times Book Review. Handy & pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
