Let's bring in Tusk Ventures' Bradley Tusk for more reaction and big picture thoughts, Bradley, on what just happened and what are your takeaways?

There is a podcast called Firewall done by Bradley Tusk, who is a founder of something called MobileVoting.org. And one of his arguments and actually one of his big projects is to help increase voter turnout.

And he kind of argues that forcing people to take off work, drive to a precinct, stand in line, some of that can be difficult, like we mentioned, for senior citizens who are in the nursing home.

Douglas VigliottiHOST
So the work itself is semi-autobiographical in its nature, and this is what makes it sort of like autofiction in a way, something I've talked about plenty on this podcast prior, as what makes something a memoir versus a novel can be pretty confusing at times, and it's definitely a spectrum of When you're talking about autofiction, this clearly is a novel, but there is a lot of blurry territory that we get into.
Douglas VigliottiHOST
I mean, I've talked about this with Hunter S. Thompson or Charles Bukowski's work, Million Little Pieces, James Fry, of course, Obvious in Hindsight by Bradley Tusk, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, and you might even include Hemingway in there, or books I didn't feature but have talked about on this pod, like Brett Easton Ellis' The Shards, or Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, or even Knausgaard with My Struggle.
