Barack Obama shares his literary favorites with the public, providing an intriguing insight into his interests and, perhaps, his personality. In 2024, its eclectic selection arouses curiosity and speculation.
Among his choices, we find Interlude by Sally Rooney, published in France by Gallimard in a translation by Laetitia Devaux. An exploration of human relationships today. The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt is also on his list. An essay that analyzes the psychological challenges faced by younger generations. Would the former president show concern for the future and well-being of America's young citizens?
We also find, among others, Patriot by Alexei Navalny, published by Robert Laffont in a translation by Odile Demange and Valentine Leÿs, or even Orbitalby Samantha Harvey, Booker Prize 2024 published in France by Flammarion, in a translation by Claro.
Below is the rest of the list:
Stolen Pride, d’Arlie Russell Hochschild
In Ascension, by Martin MacInnes
The Anthropologists, by Aysegul Savas
Growth, they Daniel Susskind
Someone like us, de Dinaw Mengestu

Last August, he also shared his literary favorites for the summer.
