The next book coming from Al Franken

Most everyone here has read Al Franken's bestsellers 'Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them' and 'The Truth.'

Hopefully in the near future we'll be able to read his third in this series. Something like 'The Truth And How It's Turned Into A Lie.' Or maybe 'The Truth About The Lying Liars Of The Senate.'

I don't think Sen. Al Franken is going to go home and just sit and sulk. He'll write a new book even if only to pass the time. But, I'll bet this, it will be a very good read!

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate - (Amazon link)
©2017 Al Franken (P)2017

From the best-selling author - the story of an award-winning comedian who decided to run for office and then discovered why award-winning comedians tend not to do that.

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it. It's a book about our deeply polarized, frequently depressing, occasionally inspiring political culture, written from inside the belly of the beast. In this candid personal memoir, the honorable gentleman from Minnesota takes his army of loyal fans along with him from Saturday Night Live to the campaign trail, inside the halls of Congress, and behind the scenes of some of the most dramatic and/or hilarious moments of his new career in politics.
