Radical: My Year with a Socialist Senator par Sofia Warren
Apparently I prefer my politics in easy-to-understand graphic novels and snarky commentary by The Stranger. This was great. I know almost nothing about New York Politics and I found it fascinating. I particularly liked seeing the different ways that decisions were made and how Salazar tried to balance the needs of her constituents against a bogged-down system, although the corruption makes me furious. Anyway, can we have one of these for every race?
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
graphic nonfiction / inside politics at NY state senate level, history of tenants' rights
hugely informative for progressives and voters/activists looking for change. The legislature (at least at the state level) feels a little less murky, even if there are still so many problems.

Cartoonist Sofia Warren embeds herself in the offices of a newly-elected New York state senator, Julia Salazar, hanging with her staff and talking to Salazar regularly during her first year in office. Salazar, a Jewish Latina in her late twenties, is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America whose agenda focuses on tenant rights and affordable housing.
I was never bored as I read the book, but it did start to veer more and more away from being about Salazar and more about the legislative process in Albany. Warren gives a sympathetic portrait of Salazar and her staff, portraying them as earnest and driven, but I never felt like I knew them much beyond a surface impression, especially as the book tipped toward following the somewhat dramatic outcome of a legislative package.
Old West Wing fans like me will probably get a kick out of this.… (plus d'informations)
