Knute 'Skip' Berger is one of the most recognized commentators on politics, culture, business, and life in the Pacific Northwest. Hes the Mike Royko/Jimmy Breslin of this part of the country. As Timothy Egan describes him in the Foreword to Pugetopolis, he is the regions 'crank with a consciencea contrarian' thinker who calls out the folly and hubris of mayors, governors, presidents, and gazillionaires. In his signature Mossback column, which ran for years in the Seattle Weekly and now on Crosscut.com, Knute Berger comments on politics (the 50year odyssey of mass transit), cultural matters (we got art out here in the provinces), the big natural world (whats left of it), enterprise (as in the MicrosoftStarbucks Industrial Complex), and odd local behavior (carless living that allows mooching rides). As a thirdgeneration Seattle native, he has the perspective to take the long view, so he knows there was a life without jackasses on jet ski, bear attacks in the suburbs, and not so many millionaires. Gathered in Pugetopolis are Knute Bergers best commentaries that provide grist for anyones mental mill who wants to understand why the Pacific Northwest is a quirky place that is sometimes too liberal for its own good; strangely conservative at other times; blindly does the bidding of the richest guy around so he can make even more money; and is able to jump on the bandwagon of one dumb pubicworks fiasco after another. And then we complain about the rain like its some new form of insult. You gotta love this placewarts and all. Berger shows you how with this sharpwitted and observant book.
