He's going to die before finishing the LBJ series, isn't he?
>In January 2020, Caro said he had "typed 604 manuscript pages so far" and is "currently on a section relating to the creation of Medicare in 1965". >In October 2021, Caro said that he was writing about Johnson's passing of Medicare and his escalation of the Vietnam War.
He's near the end, no?
He is propelled by so much bitter hatred and acidic contempt for that POS that he will finish it come hell or high water. Never before in American history has a writer had such a fury to piss into the eyeballs of the corpse of a man as Caro for LBJ.
This has to be the most amusing thing I've read all day. So the guy HATES LBJ with a passion yet his life's work, his chief d'œuvre, is a highly detailed, multivolume biography on LBJ that he continues to work on in his final days?? Holy shit.

Little Blowjob?
Large Boy Jumbo (the name LBJ gave his penis)

He has days left at best

Frick, Medicare was passed in 1965 and LBJ died in 1969. He's at best halfway done, right?
no
how do you know? if he's written 600 pages and he's not even halfway done that means the book was planned to be bigger than 1200 pages? wtf
Frick, his official website is dead. Literally for sale:

Not looking good, carobros.
LBJ ended his presidency in '69, he died in '73.

I prefer Albert Barato.

I've been into a history dive on the Nixon admin recently, and it's been fun and interesting. Is LBJ worth the dive?
