“The good news on Robert Caro’s long-awaited next book is that he knows the final words,” the AP reports.
“The bad news is that he’s known them for years and remains far from concluding his Lyndon B. Johnson series. Caro, who also wrote The Power Broker, has published four volumes of The Years of Lyndon Johnson over a period of 40 years. Volume 4, The Passage of Power, came out in 2012.”
“The fifth volume is expected to cover Johnson’s first full year as president, 1964, and continue through the end of his administration in 1969 and his death four years later.”
Said Caro of the final book: “It is huge.”
No finer books have ever been written about politics and power. Robert Caro is truly extraordinary.
