Caro has won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography, as well as two National Book Critics Circle Awards and other honors. And we hear him achieve the impossible: convincing southerners that although he was firmly in their camp as the anointed successor to their leader, Richard Russell, it was essential that they allow him to make some progress toward civil rights. At the heart of the book is its unprecedented revelation of how legislative power works in America, how the Senate works, and how Johnson, in his ascent to the presidency, mastered the Senate as no political leader before him had ever done.Ĭaro demonstrates how Johnson's political genius enabled him to reconcile the unreconcilable: to retain the support of the southerners who controlled the Senate while earning the trust - or at least the cooperation - of the liberals, led by Paul Douglas and Hubert Humphrey, without whom he could not achieve his goal of winning the presidency.

Ian and I had some phone tag for a little while after. Shortly thereafter, during NYCC, I loitered after some panels and introduced myself to Ian Sattler and Dan Didio. He recommended I meet a few people in person. I bent his ear over lunch one afternoon, and asked for some advice on how to break into writing for DC Comics. How did you make the jump from writing for television to writing for comics? Do you prefer one over the other?”īQM: Gerry – a very talented and affable gentleman by the name of Geoff Johns visited the Smallville offices for a week or two as we broke his first freelance episode (“Legion”).

Little did I know what was coming, with this long Outlander series that was totally unexpected. Even the author herself says she can’t describe her own book in 25 words or less. Or, more specifically as a historical romance. At the time, I thought of it as a romance book.
