This First Family inside dish and controversy magnet by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor has both defenders and detractors in a frenzy. (At last check, our friends at BuzzFeed countered most but not all alleged errors, while Kantor herself has admitted a lack of precision in at least one claim.) The Obamas will fade from attention as its predecessors have (Game Change didn't really change the game, we recall), but right now the juice is still fresh for political junkies. Get your questions, points, and counterpoints in a row as Kantor finds her latest hot seat at Books & Books in the Gables.

Books & Books says…

In The Obamas, Jodi Kantor takes us deep inside the White House as they try to grapple with their new roles, change the country, raise children, maintain friendships, and figure out what it means to be the first black President and First Lady. Filled with riveting detail and insight into their partnership, emotions, and personalities, and written with a keen eye for the ironies of public life, The Obamas is an intimate portrait that will surprise even readers who thought they knew the subjects at hand.
