First, the book is called "Dreams from my Father." Second, it is a myth, spread largely on ultra-conservative blogs and by some of his political opponents, that Mr. Obama did not write the book. All reliable evidence points to the fact that he did write it, at a time after his biological father's death, when he was trying to understand why his dad had been so absent in his life. Part of the book is about Mr. Obama's journey to Kenya, for the first time, to meet his dad's family and try to figure out why his dad had been so indifferent to him and his mom.
