David Mitchell, We Hold These Truths ($19.99, Paperback, Project Z Books, 9780692720134)

David Mitchell is one of those people you meet and know, without a doubt, he is going to conquer anything he wants to and aren’t we lucky that he wants to take on the literary world. His debut novel, We Hold These Truths, features a motivated, focused recent law graduate, who is black, who joins a long-shot senate campaign in North Carolina shortly after Barack Obama’s 2008 victory and experiences the painful mutations of supposedly “post-racial” politics. This engaging, thoughtful work highlights the promise of Mitchell’s talent and hopefully we won’t have to wait long, as he’s at work on his second novel.

January 26, 2017 — David S. Mitchell joined friend and former North Carolina US Senate candidate Ken Lewis on WUNC radio’s “The State of Things” for a spirited—and candid—discussion on race and politics. During the nearly 20-minute segment, David, Ken and host Frank Stasio discuss David’s new novel, We Hold These Truths, how this novel exposes the unsavory consequences of the Democratic Party’s continued use of an outmoded political operating system, and how that system is driven by what Ken Lewis calls “The Grand Strategy.” The panel argues that in light of the Democratic Party’s massive losses during the 2010 Election Cycle, and Trump’s election in 2016, the Democratic Party must reconfigure its electoral strategy and messaging if it wants to transform the Obama Coalition into a sustainable Democratic Party coalition reflecting the New American Majority of progressive whites and non-whites.
