To the Editor:
After having read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichieâs review of Barack Obamaâs new memoir, âA Promised Landâ (Nov. 29), I have a slightly different take on the former presidentâs motives.
My read is that he is responding to President Trumpâs policies â that is, the past is discussed with an eye toward challenging Trump. It seems less than a completely honest or full explanation of Obamaâs years in the White House since he seems to be getting even with Trump.
