"The Spokesman's Secretary: Being the Letters of Mame to Mom" by Upton Sinclair is a story told through letters, mostly from a manicurist named Mame, who unexpectedly gets tied to a powerful politician's secretary, playfully called the Spokesman. With humor and insight, the book looks at things like class differences and how everyday people and high-level politics mix, as Mame finds herself starring in a political event and excitedly sharing news about Mr. Edgerton, a prominent figure. Mame's letters are filled with funny stories and sharp comments about the weirdness she sees in the political world, as she deals with different people, including the Spokesman, who has his own troubles with his job and how people see him, and she provides a unique view on political power while holding on to her down-to-earth perspective.
