A Promised Land
November 12, 2020 at 9:51 am EST By Taegan Goddard
The New York Times has an amazing review of A Promised Land:
“Barack Obama is as fine a writer as they come. It is not merely that this book avoids being ponderous, as might be expected, even forgiven, of a hefty memoir, but that it is nearly always pleasurable to read, sentence by sentence, the prose gorgeous in places, the detail granular and vivid…”
“Obama’s thoughtfulness is obvious to anyone who has observed his political career, but in this book he lays himself open to self-questioning. And what savage self-questioning.”
I can’t wait to read it.
