Episode 53 The World of Laurie Zoock: Novelist Andy Feinberg, Four Score and Seven and Politics

The World of Laurie Zoock Variety Show AND The Half Empty Half Full Consumer Advocacy Radio Show

Meet my frequent guest, Andy Feinberg, author of the novel Four Score and Seven. We discuss his new book, which is about Abraham Lincoln coming back to life during the current election process, and his reaction to the state of the world now. Abraham lives with a 13 year old boy and his family. The perspective is “spot-on.” While this is a fictional book, you will know who the Presidential contenders are, as Andy has humorously named them. I was so engaged in this book that I read it in 3 days. We also discuss the state of politics and the Presidential contenders. It is December 2015 and Abe Lincoln has come back to life in New York City for two weeks. He befriends 13-year-old Henry Mason, son of a Lincoln scholar, who helps him understand that his mission is to repair a warped political system and ease the social civil war that still simmers in the nation. Crazy? Impossible? Perhaps, but there is a more immediate problem. The 2016 presidential campaign has traumatized voters.
