[Brad from Tennessee]

In in his 2009 double biography “Barack and Michelle” (HarperCollins) former TIME contributing editor Christopher Andersen writes:

“In the end, Ayer’s contribution to Barack’s ‘Dreams of My Father’ would be significant—so much so that the book's language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayer’s own writings. Even the caveat at the beginning of ‘Dreams,’ in which Barack points out that he uses invented dialog, embellished facts, composite characters, inaccurate chronology, and pseudonyms to create ‘approximation’ of reality, resembles Ayer’s defense of inaccuracies in. . .’Fugitive Days’ . . .”
