Winfrey said in a statement, “This book was
worth the wait. Everybody who reads it is going to be on this journey from the
gruelling and monotonous grind of the campaign, to taking us inside the Oval
Office and the Cabinet Room and the Situation Room and sometimes, even the
bedroom.
“This book has both the intimacy and the grandeur
coming through in this memoir, and I have so been looking forward to speaking
with him about all of it.”
About
his upcoming book, Obama tweeted in September, “There’s no feeling like
finishing a book, and I’m proud of this one. In A Promised Land, I try to provide an honest accounting of mypresidency, the forces we grapple with as a nation, and how we can heal ourdivisions and make democracy work for everybody.”
