À propos de ce contenu audio
In this symphonic origin story of an era-defining politician, Dan Chiasson, a Burlington native who had a ringside seat to Bernie Sanders’s development, reconstructs the rise of this American icon. With in-depth reporting and remarkable remembered scenes, he tracks a faint political signal that traveled from the Vermont communes, hard-luck neighborhoods, traditional businesses, and county fairs to the Town Meetings and ballot boxes of his home state, and finally to Washington D.C., to transform our national political landscape.
Sanders, insisting on a socialist platform that hasn’t changed to this day, managed to build a coalition in a world of disparate types: the conservative French-Canadian Catholics whose great grandparents had worked in the mills (Dan’s own); the puppeteers and hippies and NYC transplants looking for land and “authenticity” in Vermont; the developers involved in the era’s urban-renewal schemes; the corrupt old-school Dems at their table in the local dive; and even Ben and Jerry who became Ben and Jerry’s right there in town. Bernie captivated them all, running on the slogan “Burlington is not for sale,” to become the modern era’s first socialist mayor, one who got the streets paved but also boasted a foreign policy and a bullhorn to speak directly to Ronald Reagan.
In the tradition of J. Anthony Lukas’s Common Ground and the documentary films of Frederick Wiseman, this people’s epic shows us an American city transformed one diner coffee, one neighborhood door-knock at a time, even as the analog era wanes and a new digital politics appears on the horizon. Full of Sanders himself, reflecting and raging, hitting his themes, forging alliances with all comers, Bernie for Burlington is a mesmerizing portrait of a politician, a place, and a movement that would change America.

Commentaires
“The more I read of Dan Chiasson’s book, the more moved I was by how absolutely unwavering Bernie’s message has been across the many decades of his career.” —Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home, on creating the cover art for Bernie for Burlington
“Few political books are this well written. . . . Elegant sentences, evocative scene setting, and insightful conclusions about Sanders’ 'consistency' and durable message. . . . An observant, eloquent dual portrait of an uncommon public servant and his adopted home city.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Story-telling has various eternal wellsprings: history and gossip, the local and the epic, jokes and legends. Bernie for Burlington orchestrates energy from all of the above in a wild variety of stories, voices and characters. At the center, Bernie Sanders of Brooklyn and Burlington is an important and unlikely hero, and Dan Chiasson of Burlington and American poetry is a masterful and unlikely narrator.” —Robert Pinsky
“This is a book we need right now—a big, lovingly-woven, Whitmanesque wickerwork of grievances and glories, home truths and triumphs, about a Brooklyn kid and the city on the shore of Lake Champlain where he shaped his compassionate cause. Read it and you'll never think about local politics the same way again.” —Nicholson Baker
“A fascinating portrait of hard-knocks Burlington, Vermont, and of its ingenious, enterprising, indefatigable socialist mayor, Bernie Sanders, who went from seat-of-the-pants "perennial candidate" to national fame.” —Ian Frazier
“Two down-and-out characters—an unruly perennial fringe candidate and a decaying New England mill town—joined forces at an unpropitious political moment to create a left populism and new urbanism whose revitalizing influence is still growing nationwide. Dan Chiasson relates this Vermont fable with a historian’s rigor, a poet’s eye, and a memoirist’s sharp evocations of time and place. I couldn’t put it down.” —Timothy Noah, staff writer at The New Republic and author of The Great Divergence: America’s Growing Inequality Crisis and What We Can Do About It
