The President a Novel by Alfred Henry Lewin review
A lengthy critique notes The President blends politics and Wall Street in a Washington tale. Lewin’s plot is subservient to his social commentary, with vivid characters like Storms and Hanway, and a sharp, cynical view of Congress and finance. The review commends the storytelling energy and period voice.
