Barack Obama's A Promised Land has been nominated as a contender in the 2021 British Book Awards Fiction-Fantasy category.

The book documents how, during 8 years of the Obama presidency, many people around the world "became" dead and were sent to "the promised land" as a result of actions ordered by the Nobel Peace prize-winning POTUS.

A Promised Land was nominated for its vivid and inspiring prose, such as:

It was cold and windy as we trudged silently up the stone path along a ridge in the dim sunlight.

Sorry. We meant:

The day was cold, the wind cutting, the sun a dim watermark on the gray sky, and no one said much as we trudged up the steep stone ramparts that snaked along the mountain’s spine.

...describing Obama's visit to the Great Wall of China.

This book, together with Michelle Obama's Becoming, is claimed to be subject to a $65 million book deal with Penguin Random house  - apparently the largest ever for a presidential memoir. And as the two books together represent some 1148 pages in total (i.e. $56,620 per page) that piece of prose alone is probably worth thousands of dollars. Awesome!

FNN wonders how much Trump's presidential memoir will be worth, as we assume that the author of The Art of the Deal will demand at least $66 million, and how many literary awards it will be nominated for?
