When Kentucky Congressman Howard Janison dies, he leaves behind a shadowy trail of business dealings, encoded books of accounts and piles of money, none of which his widow, Rachel, can explain. Judge Emmerson Mars, friend of the family and executor of the estate, is left to piece together the mystery. Fortunately, Judge Mars discovers Janison's diary, but the more he delves, the more he realizes how little he knew Janison at all. In Janison, Our Congressman, we witness the life of a man who is both virtuous and corrupt, generous and greedy, loyal and unfaithful. In the end, Janison leaves behind a legacy of wealth, power and political machinations, and the only question for Judge Mars is how much of the story he?ll be able to tell Rachel...

"A comprehensive inquiry into the attitudes and ambitions that characterized the documentary impulse of the thirties. The subject is a large one, for it embraces (among much else) radical journalism, academic sociology, the esthetics of photography, Government relief programs, radio broadcasting, the literature of social work, the rhetoric of political persuasion, and the effect of all these on the traditional arts of literature, painting, theater and dance. The great merit of Mr. Stott's study lies precisely in its wide-ranging view of this complex terrain."--Hilton Kramer, " New York Times Book Review "
"[Scott] might be called the Aristotle of documentary. No one before him has so comprehensively surveyed the achievement of the 1930s, suggesting what should be admired, what condemned, and why; no one else has so persuasively furnished an aesthetic for judging the form."--"Times Literary Supplement "
