Pawnee by Leslie Knope
From the hit US comedy Parks and Recreation, which stars Amy Poehler (as Leslie Knope) and is gathering a growing following in the UK, comes this equally entertaining tie-in, in which Leslie Knope, Deputy Director of the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, gives readers a hilarious guided tour through her little corner of Middle America. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the town and its history, its significance in the great state of Indiana and its impact on the world at large.Leslie Knope has been a resident of Pawnee since she was a child. She was encouraged to pursue a career in public service as a result of the community initiatives she participated in as a child. In her job at city hall, Leslie serves on numerous action groups, including the Equal Opportunity Committee, the Fun in the Sun Committee, the Clean Bathroom Task Force, the Disabled Restroom Task Force, and the Task Force to Decrease the Number of Public Restrooms. Her ambition is to be the first female President of the United States. Leslie works for Pawnee's parks and recreation department as the Deputy Parks Director, a mid-level bureaucrat role. She aspires to enhance her career (perhaps to the Director position within the department and then to City Manager) while also improving her community. Leslie also enjoys desserts, particularly whipped cream, which she liberally applies to coffee, waffles, and other dishes.
