Follow this link to a broadcast I just watched on booktv.

New Yorker editor David Remnick talks about the life and political career of President Obama with NPR’s Michele Norris.

The discussion is about the book The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama
I watched a significant portion of the show, but did not catch it from the beginning.  The book sounds like one I want to read as soon as I can.  The author seems to be very thoughtful. I am now going back to view the part of the show that I missed.

I found a review of the book and interview David Remnick’s Obama Biography: A Bit Much, a Bit Too Soon. Maybe I skimmed this review too fast.  I couldn’t find anything in the review that matched the negativity of the  headline.
