Jeremiah Wright's Book Set to Hit Shelves in October (updated)
Right at the end of New York magazine's cover story on Obama and race, a bit of news I hadn't yet heard: In October, Obama’s former pastor, Wright, will publish a new book and hit the road to promote it, an occasion that might well place the topic of Obama’s blackness (along with his patriotism and his candor about what he heard in the pews in all those years at Trinity Church) squarely at the center of the national debate. Update: Wright's daughter denies there will be a book.
