| Summary | "The 13th District: A Story of a Candidate" by Brand Whitlock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jerry Garwood, a candidate for Congress, as he navigates the challenges and triumphs of his political campaign. The narrative explores themes of ambition, public perception, and personal relationships within the context of a small-town election. At the start of the novel, Garwood arrives back in his town amidst an enthusiastic crowd celebrating his nomination. He experiences overwhelming support from his constituents, evoking a mix of pride and introspection as he grapples with the nature of popularity and the expectations placed on him as a candidate. Among the cheering crowd, Garwood looks for Emily Harkness, the woman he loves, but is disappointed by her absence, hinting at the personal sacrifices that accompany his political aspirations. This opening sets the stage for Garwood's journey, revealing both the exhilaration of a public life and the private struggles that accompany it. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
