This Town

Leibovich's detailed portrayal of events like galas and fundraisers offers a peek into a world few get to see. I wonder what drew him to highlight these aspects over more policy-focused stories.

The lavish parties and power plays are fascinating, but they also made me question what’s really underneath all the opulence. Am I the only one who felt a sense of disillusionment?

Leibovich has spent years covering politics, but I’m curious whether his personal interactions influenced the narrative tone or choice of stories in this book.
