ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
From Senator Al Franken - #1 bestselling author and beloved SNL alum - comes 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.
This 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.
Has Al Franken become a true Giant of the Senate? Franken asks readers to decide for themselves.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Senator Al Franken has represented Minnesota in the United States
Senate since 2009. Before entering politics, he was an award-winning
comedy writer, author, and radio talk show host. He's been married to
his wife, Franni, for 41 years-many of them happy. They have two
children, Thomasin and Joe, and three grandchildren. Senator Franken
graduated from Harvard College and received his doctorate in right-wing
megalomania studies from Trump University.
"In this excellent, insightful memoir, comedian turned senator Franken
recalls his unlikely path to public service...Franken is quite a
raconteur, and he tells the story of his remarkable life and times with a
sense of humor that is always irreverent and often self-deprecating."―Publishers Weekly
"This is a great book about politics. No joke...Compulsively readable [with] laugh-out-loud lines in every chapter."―Booklist Starred Review

I think it's great he's the reader too, obviously it will make it a more familiar piece that way.
Someone on TV said that humor comes naturally to him and I agree. He is a shining star in the Senate. Would love to listen to this audiobook.
