I'm a great fan of Parks and Recreation. I'm also a great fan of The West Wing. I have binge-watched both more than once. (Interestingly, Parks and Rec was pitched as "The West Wing with lower stakes.")
I share this personal confession because today in Chronogram Brian Mahoney reviewed a new book: "Why 'Parks and Recreation' Still Matters in 2026."
 |
The book being reviewed is Parks & Rec: The Underdog TV Show That Lit'rally Inspired a Vision for a Better America. The book was written Jennifer Keishen Armstrong, who lives in New Paltz. In the book Armstrong argues that Parks and Recreation "offers a radical vision of government as human-scale, collaborative, and worth believing in."
The review, and possibly the book too, is recommended reading.
