I am *so* getting Nancy’s book when it comes out. Here’s a gift article/interview between Ezra Klein and Pelosi about some of the highlights of her time in office. A fascinating retelling, really:

The remarkable thing about the past couple of months in politics has been watching the Democratic Party act like something we have not seen for a long time — a political party. A party that makes decisions collectively. A party that does hard things because it wants to win. A party that is more than the vehicle for a single — usually — man’s ambitions. But parties are made of people. And in this case, the party was in particular made of a person, Nancy Pelosi, one of the longest-serving House speakers, the first female speaker, and — it sometimes feels — one of the last people left in American politics who knows how to wield power and knows why she wants to do so. She has a new book, “The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House,” and she came by The Times to talk about what she has learned, why she does what she does, and how she sees this moment in American politics.
