Hutchinson My Life
An exhaustive, soul-searching memoir, Bill Clinton's <I>My Life</I> is a refreshingly candid look at the former president as a son, brother, teacher, father, husband and public figure. Clinton painstakingly outlines the history behind his greatest successes and failures, including his dedication to educational and economic reform, his war against a vast right-wing operation determined to destroy him, and the morally indefensible acts for which he was nearly impeached. <I>My Life</I> is autobiography as therapy--a personal history written by a man trying to face and banish his private demons. <p> Clinton approaches the story of his youth with gusto, sharing tales of giant watermelons, nine-pound tumours, a charging ram, famous mobsters and jazz musicians and a BB gun standoff. He offers an equally energetic portrait of American history, pop culture and the evolving political landscape, covering the historical events that shaped his early years (namely the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr and JFK) and the events that shaped his presidency (Waco, Bosnia, Somalia). What makes <I>My Life</I> remarkable as a political memoir is how thoroughly it is infused with Clinton's unassuming, charmingly pithy voice: <blockquote><p> I learned a lot from the stories my uncle, aunts, and grandparents told me: that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can't be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgments can make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes the only, response to pain. </blockquote><p> However, that same voice might tire readers as Clinton applies his penchant for minute details to a distractible laundry list of events, from his youth through the years of his presidency. Not wanting to forget a single detail that might help account for his actions, Clinton overdoes it--do we really need to know the name of his childhood barber? But when Clinton sticks to the meat of his story--recollections about his mother, his abusive stepfather, Hillary, the campaign trail and Kenneth Starr--the veracity of emotion and revelations about what it is like to be President make <I>My Life</I> impossible to put down. <p> To Clinton, politics is a contact sport and while he claims that <I>My Life</I> is not intended to make excuses or assign blame, it does portray him as a fighter whose strategy is to take the first hit, then counterpunch as hard as I could. While <I>My Life</I> is primarily a stroll through Clinton's memories, it is also a scathing rebuke--a retaliation against his detractors, including Kenneth Starr, whose mindless search for scandal protected the guilty while persecuting the innocent and distracted his administration from pressing international matters (including strikes on al Qaeda). Counterpunch indeed. <p>At its core, <I>My Life</I> is a charming and intriguing if flawed book by an intriguing and flawed man who had his worst failures and humiliations made public. Ultimately, the man who left office in the shadow of scandal offers an honest and open account of his life, allowing readers to witness his struggle to drain the most out of every moment while maintaining the character with which he was raised. It is a remarkably intimate, persuasive look at the boy he was, the president he became and the man he is today. --<I>Daphne Durham, Amazon.com</I>

Faber and Faber Double Trouble: Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley in a Land of No Alternatives
The 1967 Elvis flick <I>Double Trouble</I> saw the immaculately coiffured singer pursued by a smitten young temptress, and used by a calculating woman his own age. A striking, if flimsy, starting place, perhaps, but the döppelganger theory is given credence by the remarkable number of comparisons drawn by American commentators over the last decade, as catalogued here. Greil Marcus is The King of Elvis-philia: an influence for his 1975 debut <I>Mystery Train</I>, he returned to the subject with <I>Dead Elvis</I>, a brilliant trawl through Presley's posthumous career, the wake that never runs dry. In comparison, <I>Double Trouble</I> is a slightly disappointing collection of recycled journalism from the 1990s, for publications such as <I>Salon.com</I> and <I>Interview</I>. Like most less-than-definitive Best Of anthologies, there are space-fillers, yet the pick of the unrelated essays, on PJ Harvey, Kurt Cobain and especially Bob Dylan (who was the subject of Marcus's <I>Invisible Republic</I>) throw the longest shadows; digressive from the central premise, they complicitly throw it into sharper relief.<p>Clinton and Presley were both southern hicks; sexually provocative hillbillies who divided a nation. When a Rayban-ed Clinton blew his saxophone to Heartbreak Hotel on the Arsenio Hall Show in 1992, one of his speech writers said it might have won him the election, but it also ruined the presidency. For a moment, as on Marcus's cover, the two blur into each other, and the weasel goes pop. But Presley has become an over-pressed metaphor for all things American, a looking-glass that flatters all size and shape of viewer. Consistently nagging at a duplicitous contradiction that goes to the heart of US national insecurity, it is when Marcus writes in time with this zeitgeist two-step that he unravels the glorious, denuding potency of cheap music. But he also needs new challenges: as Bill Clinton leaves the White House, perhaps Elvis should finally leave the building; in this cultural jukebox, maybe it's time to change the record. --<I>David Vincent</I>
