Unbelievable, by Katy Tur

My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History

Unbelievable, by Katy Tur, provides an entertaining and insightful view of campaign life on the road during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Ms. Tur traveled with and reported on the Trump campaign during this period for NBC and MSNBS.  She offers a comprehensive view of what the day to day life of a reporter is like in the highly competitive and stressful profession of network news.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Ms. Tur’s frankness with regard to her own personal relationships and family made me feel that she was reflective, and willing and able to put aside her own biases and life confusion, enabling her to process and report candidly.

Unbelievable is well researched, and it is written in a self-effacing style which I appreciated.

Barry Novick became a real estate broker on the North Fork, after moving here from Manhattan with his family 25+ years ago.  Barry is well-known in the community as an all-around great guy, and as the ultimate real estate professional.  He has brokered land, residential and commercial properties, including brokering the most vineyards on the East End over the industry’s history.  After growing up just outside of Washington, D.C., Barry earned his B.S. in Anthropology at the University of Maryland, which prepared him well for his business career in NYC.  In recounting his youth in Washington, Barry notes riding the “Congressional subway” between the House and Senate along with Representatives, Senators, and a Vice President or two.  He and his friends often sat in on open sessions, when they weren’t catapulting ravines at Great Falls, and other great things kids did then.  Due to surviving all of the above, Barry wanes philosophical and is known for his somewhat hysterical sense of humor.  He is probably the best friend a person could have.  He and his wife live in Sag Harbor and Brooklyn Heights, and are always nearby his amazing daughter and son-in-law, and their extraordinary children.
