Michael Lewis Interviews Barack Obama for Vanity Fair

9/10/2012

Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, The Big Short, and, most recently, Boomerang, among other major bestsellers, has spent part of the past year hanging out with the 44th President of the United States on an exclusive assignment for Vanity Fair.  Aboard Air Force One, in the Oval Office, on the President's favorite White House balcony, and, to the dental peril of both President and interviewer, on the basketball court, Michael Lewis is there to capture the moment and ask Barack Obama the most penetrating questions about his work, his character, his decision-making, and what it means to be President in our time.  In so doing, Lewis offers a wholly unprecedented understanding of the man who leads the free world.
