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 "
In the most important book on anger since The Dance of Anger, the
author of The Flying Boy demonstrates how to transform this
unpredictable emotion into a source of positive, productive energy
and offers ways to vent anger that are safe and healthy.
