Long and Short Reviews welcomes Peter Stone, who is visiting with us to celebrate today’s release of his debut novel The Perfect Candidate.
1) The summer after I graduated from high school, I was an intern in the Capitol Hill office of Congressman Gary Condit (before he was embroiled in the media circus surrounding the Chandra Levy murder). I later returned to Washington, D.C., where I was a Spanish tutor for former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. (Both experiences inspired my debut novel!)
2) I have traveled to over 60 countries. Standouts include El Salvador, Myanmar, Rwanda, and Spain. Current wish list: Mongolia, Philippines, Russia. One of my most favorite things is landing in a new city with a guidebook (or trusted friend’s hit list) in hand.
3) I am the youngest of eight children, and I have 29 nephews and nieces. When I was in kindergarten, I took my oldest niece (a newborn at the time) to class for Show & Tell. My fellow five year olds found it challenging to accept that I was an uncle!
4) I am a National Speech & Debate Association National Champion in the Impromptu category. I think Speech & Debate tournaments are the best thing any teenager could do with their Saturdays.
5) I hate gum, caramel, and the moment in movies when the camera is from the point of view of the passenger, looking at the driver, and you know that a car is about to crash into them – from just outside the driver’s side window – any second. I lose all self-control around chips & guacamole; and film festivals, where I favor movies over sleep or food and try to see 6-7 films per day.
