I’m still young enough to remember a time when the new Esquire or Vogue or Rolling Stone was anticipated for the type of journalism that didn’t strive to beat you over the head with some sort of moral or right think—when writing was unadulterated and sought to capture life as it was and not how the author thought it should be. “The Long Slide” by Tucker Carlson is a refreshing time-capsule of that type of journalism. It’s a pleasurable read, funny, serious, and absurd. Held against the current zeitgeist it exposes the calorie-rich sustenance deprived drivel we’ve been being fed this last decade. The articles herein are heartfelt, curious, and honest. I read it in a day as page after page I smiled, gasped, laughed, and shook my head. Makes me want to dig out some of those original Hunter S.

( ) In recent years -- and especially since the Trump Presidency and the Covid health crisis and political landscape -- interest in Tucker Carlson has increased for me. This book was a pleasure to read. I wasn't aware that Tucker Carlson had been a writer with many magazines before. So, i thoroughly enjoyed this book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In snapshots spanning the 1990s to today, he'll take you on a visit to Africa with Al Sharpton and members of the Nation of Islam to stop the civil war in Liberia in 2003, inside the (not-so-) secret armies of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and on the campaign trail with Donald Trump in 2016. In case you missed it the first time around, you'll also learn about the aesthetic merits of British colonialism, the second shift at a baked bean factory, the unexpected charm of James Carville, and the simple beauty of rural western Maine. With his signature wit and 20/20 hindsight, Tucker investigates in this patriotic and memorable collection a question on all of our minds: Has America really changed that much in recent decades?
