我希望自己说的话：一位专栏作家的自白

“一篇专栏文章就能吸引你。它幽默风趣，妙语连珠。这是Jaime Watt最坦诚的表达。”

就像电视烹饪比赛铃声响起，参赛者举手一样，周五下午四点，专栏文章提交——无论是否准备好——都会让专栏作家感到恐惧、不安或沾沾自喜。无论如何，一个迫切而又挥之不去的想法始终萦绕在心头：你希望自己说了什么。

这就是周报专栏作家的生活。作家杰米·瓦特再也无法抑制这种渴望，在《我希望我说过的话：一位专栏作家的自白》一书中，他收集了自己在《多伦多星报》上发表的48篇最令人大开眼界、最具启发性和最具煽动性的专栏文章，并以幽默、坦率和机智的方式，对每一篇都进行了回应，表达了他希望自己说的话。本书还收录了前参议员兼专栏作家安德烈·普拉特，以及记者兼《多伦多星报》前主编迈克尔·库克的贡献。

瓦特被广泛认为是加拿大领先的高风险传播策略师，也是那些以其大胆和创造力改变政治格局的开创性竞选活动的策划者。他通过重新审视自己过往的作品，将自己的洞见应用于加拿大生活中一些最棘手、最具影响力的问题。

本书涵盖六个主题领域——公民自由与人权、领导人肖像、执政党自由党、反对党保守党、唐纳德·特朗普总统任期以及新冠疫情危机——细腻而通俗的文集，以独特的视角审视近来时期。无论其观点正确与否，瓦特在批评——有时甚至猛烈抨击——自己过去的专栏时都毫不留情。

瓦特和他的合著者布林·威尔金森回顾了他过去七年多以来撰写的专栏文章中，探讨了哪些内容是可以表达的。与此同时，瓦特以新的视角和想法进行挑战，引导读者思考他们希望自己当时表达的内容，思考他们的观点，甚至价值观，是如何随着时间而改变的。

评论

“只需一篇专栏文章，就能吸引你。幽默风趣，观点迸发。这是杰米·瓦特最坦诚的表达。”——尊敬的布赖恩·马尔罗尼——加拿大第十八任总理，PC，CC，GOQ

“人生中，我们很少有机会‘重来’过去的事情。杰米·瓦特创造了这个机会，我们所有人都受益匪浅。我很高兴我们能听到杰米反思他哪些做对了，哪些做错了。也许他会为其他专栏作家树立一个先例，整个政治舆论界都会因此受益！” —— 尊敬的凯瑟琳·韦恩 —— 安大略省第25任省长

“有人告诉我，我只能用35个字来评价杰米的这本书：令人振奋，又令人心碎；发人深省，发人深省，风趣幽默，切中要害，阐释深刻，进步进步，富有同情心，而且目标明确。这是一部既回顾过去又展望未来的著作，非常值得一读。” —— 乔丹·比托夫 —— 《多伦多星报》出版商兼NordStar Capital首席执行官

What I Wish I Said: Confessions of a Columnist

“All it takes is one column to pull you in. Rich in humour, overflowing in ideas. This is Jaime Watt at his candid best.”

The Right Brian Mulroney, PC, CC, GOQ ―18th prime minister of Canada

Just as they do on those television cooking contests when the bell rings and the contestants’ hands go up, at four o’clock on Friday afternoon, the column is filed―ready or not―to the columnist’s horror, discomfort, or self-satisfaction. Regardless, one exigent and unrelenting thought remains: what you wish you’d said.

Such is the life of a weekly newspaper columnist. Unable to ignore the urge any longer, in What I Wish I Said: Confessions of a Columnist, author Jaime Watt has collected forty-eight of his most eye-opening, illuminating, and provocative Toronto Star columns and with humour, candour, and wit, he’s responded to each with what he wishes he’d said. The collection also features contributions from former senator and columnist André Pratte and from journalist and former editor-in-chief of the Toronto Star Michael Cooke.

Widely regarded as Canada’s leading high-stakes communications strategist and the architect of groundbreaking campaigns that transformed politics with their boldness and creativity, Watt brings his insight to bear on some of the most vexing and consequential issues in Canadian life by reappraising his past work.

Across six topical subject areas―civil liberties and human rights, portraits of leaders, the Liberal Party in power, the Conservative Party in opposition, the Donald Trump presidency, and the COVID-19 crisis―this subtle yet accessible collection offers a distinctive look at recent times. Whether he got it right or wrong, Watt pulls no punches when it comes to critiquing―and at times lambasting―his past columns.

Revisiting his best and worst takes, Watt and his co-author Breen Wilkinson look at what might have been said in the columns he has been writing for more than seven years. And as he does, Watt challenges with new perspectives and ideas, inviting readers to consider what they wish they might have said, to consider how their points of views, and even their values, may have changed with time.

Review

“All it takes is one column to pull you in. Rich in humour, overflowing in ideas. This is Jaime Watt at his candid best.” -- The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney ― PC, CC, GOQ - 18th prime minister of Canada

“Very infrequently in life do we get the chance to ‘do over’ something from our past. Jaime Watt has created this opportunity and all of us benefit. I love that we can hear Jaime thinking about what he got right and what he didn’t. Maybe he will set a precedent for other columnists and the whole world of political opinion would be the better for that!” -- The Honourable Kathleen Wynne ― 25th premier of Ontario

“I’m told I only have 35 words to comment on Jaime’s book: heartening and heartbreaking, thought-provoking, thoughtful, funny, on-target, elucidating, progressive, compassionate, and purposeful. A retrospect that looks forward – and is well worth looking into.” -- Jordan Bitove ― Publisher, Toronto Star and CEO of NordStar Capital
