Obama’s Summer Reads Feature Strout Again | Portland Maine News
Description
Barack Obama’s summer reading list just dropped—and Elizabeth Strout, the acclaimed Maine-born author, is back on it for the second time, this time for her latest novel, “The Things We Never Say.” A Pulitzer winner and HBO series star, Strout’s work continues to resonate with the former president, who’s been sharing his literary picks annually since leaving office. Alongside Strout, other literary giants like Ann Patchett and Colson Whitehead also made the cut. Obama also unveiled his long-awaited summer music playlist, packed with classics like Johnny Cash and fresh tracks from Vermont’s Noah Kahan—though Kahan’s “Maine” missed the list. His selections offer a revealing glimpse into his tastes and a spotlight on Northeastern talent.
