Going Rogue: An American Life is a personal and political memoir by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican candidate for Vice President of the U.S. The book quickly became a New York Times #1 bestseller and is one of only four political memoirs to sell more than one million copies.

Contents

Summary and themes

The first part of the book is devoted to Palin's experiences before the campaign, the second part details her life as a candidate for national office.[1] The book is written in a personal tone similar to Palin's manner of speaking. Palin discusses the disagreements she had with McCain campaign advisers, criticizes the national media, and talks about the importance of religion and family life.[2]

The "Going Rogue" part of the title derives from criticism leveled at Palin by McCain campaign advisers that she was straying from their carefully crafted message[1] and publicly disagreeing with John McCain on several issues.[3] The subtitle, "An American Life", mirrors the title of President Ronald Reagan's 1990 autobiography.[4]

Writing process

The book deal was announced in May 2009 when Palin was still Governor of Alaska, with Palin stating that she wanted the public to hear her true story, "unrestrained and unfiltered".[5] She reportedly received an advance of $1.25 million[6] from the publisher, Harper Collins, with two projected additional payouts of between $2.5 million and $5 million each.[7]

Palin announced that although she would have a collaborator to help, she would be doing a lot of the writing herself, employing her journalism skills and the personal diaries and notes that she had kept throughout her life.[5] Nonetheless, critics speculated whether Palin was capable of writing a book.[8]

Responding to concerns that writing and promoting the book would interfere with her duties as governor, Palin stated she would only work on the book after hours and would promote the book "schedule permitting".[5] The Alaska law department issued a legal opinion which okayed the project, stating: "A book publication project is compatible with your position as governor so long as it does not interfere with your official duties."[5]

Conservative journalist and author Lynn Vincent worked on the book with Palin for several weeks shortly after she resigned the governorship in the summer of 2009. Palin then met with Harper Collins editors for intensive editing sessions in New York City. Harper Collins publisher Jonathan Burnham said that Palin had been "unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage", adding that the book was "her words, her life ... in full and fascinating detail."[9] Harper Collins had planned publication for Spring 2010, but later moved the date to November 17, 2009, as the book was completed earlier than expected.[9] The publisher attributed the speed with which the memoir was written to Palin devoting full time to the writing process after she left office.[10] In addition, Palin has confirmed that she will write a second book.[11]

Going Rogue: An American Life

The book was available for pre-order between $9 and $10 from on-line retailers Amazon, Target.com, and Walmart.com.[12] Dan Calabrese, writing in the North Star National, called the sales "an absolutely unprecedented performance for a non-fiction book so far in advance of its release date."[13]

Less than two weeks after its release, sales of the book exceeded the one million mark, putting it in a class with memoirs by Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.[14][15][16] The print run was extended to 2.8 million copies from 1.5 million.[14] Going Rogue attained sales of over 2.7 million by December 1, 2009,[17] and was number one on The New York Times Best Seller list for six consecutive weeks.[18]

Analysis and reactions

Reviewing an advance copy of the book, the Associated Press challenged some of Palin's statements as non-factual, such as her assertions that she traveled frugally, avoided large campaign donors, was against the bankers' bailouts of 2008, and entered politics for purely altruistic reasons. The analysis concluded by characterizing the book as "a pre-campaign manifesto".[19] The Huffington Post followed with an article claiming to expose eighteen falsehoods in the book, even criticizing the subtitle, "An American Life", as a lie because Palin had spent most of her life in Alaska.[20]

Palin replied to these criticisms stating: "as is expected, the AP and a number of subsequent media outlets are erroneously reporting the contents of the book."[21 ] Conservative talk show host John Ziegler objected to the AP piece, saying that the AP is extremely biased and "badly missing the most important points of Sarah Palin's book".[22] The AP responded that they stood by their reporting.[23]

Former McCain campaign aides "hit back" according to The Politico, "calling the former vice presidential nominee's soon-to-be released book 'revisionist and self serving' 'fiction'."[24] Palin's mention of a willingness to have coffee with Hillary Clinton[25] elicited a positive response from Clinton, who said she would "absolutely look forward" to it, and that it would be "very interesting".[26 ] A representative for Katie Couric responded to the book's assertion that Couric had badgered Palin by saying, "The interview speaks for itself."[27]

The editors of the liberal magazine The Nation compiled a collection of short essays highly critical of Palin, giving it a satirical title and a cover very similar to Palin's book.[28] The paperback, variously described as a faux-memoir and a political counterpoint,[29][30] was released on the same day as Palin’s book and is titled Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare.[28][31]

Reviews

  • Conservative radio talk show host John Ziegler[33] praised Going Rogue as "the best book and greatest literary achievement by a political figure in my lifetime" and as showing honesty "the type of which can only come from someone incredibly courageous, grounded, and self-aware."[34]
  • Republican radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh called the book "truly one of the more substantive policy books I've read."[35 ]
  • The Wall Street Journal's Melanie Kirkpatrick described the book as "more a personal memoir than a political one," which demonstrated that Palin "is not the prejudiced, dim-witted ideologue of the popular liberal imagination." However, Kirkpatrick criticized the book as "too gentle" on the McCain campaign staffers and McCain himself, and as spending too little time discussing political issues.[1]
  • Michiko Kakutani, writing for the New York Times, characterized Going Rogue as "part earnest autobiography, part payback hit job," noting that it was more critical of the McCain campaign than it was of Democrats. Kakutani credited the book with doing a "lively job of conveying the frontier feel of the 49th state."[36]
  • Stanley Fish, writing for The New York Times' Opinionator blog, explained that "while I wouldn’t count myself a fan in the sense of being a supporter, I found [the book] compelling and very well done."[37]
  • Conservative author Matthew Continetti observed that Palin's book was "everything you'd expect from a politician who has no intention of leaving the national scene."[38 ]
  • Jack Kenny for The New American took the book to task for being light on policy content: "Do I know any more about Sarah Palin’s political ambitions or core beliefs at the end of the book than I did at the beginning? Aside from a few vague hints of something deeper, the answer is 'no'."[39]
  • Entertainment Weekly gave the book a "C," praising the first chapters about Palin's life as "down-to-earth and funny" while concluding that the rest of the memoir was mediocre and self-serving.[40 ]
  • Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press said the book was "less the revealing autobiography of a straight-shooting maverick and more a lengthy campaign speech — more lipstick, less pit bull." Like other reviewers, Kennedy felt "Palin reserves most of her attacks for McCain's advisers."[41]
  • In its review, the liberal Huffington Post described the book as "one giant complaint about the conduct of John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign."[42]
  • Michael Carey of the Anchorage Daily News said "there is a big something missing from Palin's narrative: the voice of a leader."[43]
  • Liberal author Thomas Frank, writing for the Wall Street Journal, panned the book: "This is the memoir as prolonged, keening wail, larded with petty vindictiveness."[44]
  • Newsweek senior editor Michael Hirsh said that "she seems to be mainly out for repudiation of her critics here, and what you see is a lot of self-involvement" and that the book would "help her with her base...I don't know if it helps at all with what she would need to actually be elected president."[45]

Book tour

Palin was interviewed in rapid succession by Oprah Winfrey,[46] Barbara Walters, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly, with the US News speculating that the interviews and book tour would be "strewn with land mines".[46][47] Palin then began a three week national book tour that focused on small and mid-size towns[48] with eleven of the states she visited considered political battle-grounds for 2012.[49] Large crowds turned out to greet Palin and get their books autographed with Palin spending as long as three hours at some venues.[50][51] Media attention focused on one incident in Indiana where a small crowd of approximately 300 people who had waited in line for hours booed when Palin left before autographing their books. Palin quickly apologized for the incident on her Facebook page.[52] ABC News characterized her bus book tour as "extraordinarily successful" but suggested she might be criticized for taking a private jet provided by the publisher for long legs of the journey.[17]

In addition to the book tour, a web-based campaign directed book ads to people searching for Palin's name on Google. Palin also utilized her Facebook page, (accessible to non subscribers), to promote her book.[48]

Parodies

Going Rogue has inspired a number of parodies and satirical interpretations. Roy Edroso of the Village Voice "reviewed" the book by writing fake excerpts.[53] TA Frank of The Guardian similarly parodied the contents with a faux first draft complete with fake notes between Palin and her editors.[54] Cartoonist Julie Sigwart and radio host Michael Stinson released a 48 page spoof Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book on the same day that Palin's Going Rogue appeared on the shelves.[55] South Park featured a parody of the book called, "Going Rogue on the Smurfs".[56] The website goingrogueindex.com leads to a proper-name index for Going Rogue (which was published without one)[57] that features satirical trappings such as a photo collage of several historical figures quoted in the book and an embedded German song that translates to "Madonna in Hell."[58]

References in popular culture

The book and its surrounding promotion have been mentioned on late night comedy shows, including The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live.[59] Letterman had a recurring segment, "Things More Enjoyable than Reading the Sarah Palin Memoir", including such things as "getting run over by a lawnmower" and "driving into a tree".[60] On December 11, 2009, William Shatner read excerpts from the book on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien followed by Palin reading excerpts from Shatner's autobiography, Up Till Now.[61]
