I am not a fan. On the other hand, I am not sure identifying as a fan is much of a credential. Michelle Obama has a book out. Among all the literature I have weathered lately, I think that when it all settles down I might read her book. A commentator on cable called it “literature.” I think I might try that.
I was disappointed in Woodward’s Fear. It was too recent. Too close to home. Too much what we live with day-to-day. Maybe a little too forgiving. Maybe not “a little.”
Michelle writes, as I understand it, as a mom and a wife. I think I can digest that. I celebrate this book. I am not a fan. She was my FLOTUS. Her story is history. I believe she has documented it responsibly.
Becoming is her story and ours. I understand that she is a talented writer. I know she is an icon. I think she knows how to handle her roles. I look forward to reading her story.
