Editor's note: This is the final installment of a three-part analysis of Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father." Read Part 1, "Bill Ayers' motive for penning memoir." Read Part 2, "Deconstructing the text."
On several occasions, I have gotten calls from a publisher to rescue a book. Last year, for instance, the publishers of Bill Cosby's book, "Come On People," written with Dr. Alvin Poussaint, needed some major help, and I was brought in to provide it.
Although the project was difficult and expensive, the publishers had a vested interest in seeing that this book came out on time and in good style. It was a projected best-seller, and it proved to be just that.
My job was to fuse the separate voices of Cosby and Poussaint into a "we" without sacrificing their content or their style. This was their book, not mine. These were their thoughts, not mine. They can rightly and proudly claim authorship.
Whoever rescued Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father" went much further. He invested considerable time to invent a distinctive voice and style for an unknown author. In essence, he created the "Barack Obama" we know and did so for reasons that defy any marketing imperative.
