Michael answers “I was tempted to read this because I was...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about The Premonition: A Pandemic Story:

I was tempted to read this because I was so impressed with another of Michael Lewis's books (The Undoing Project), but now it looks to me like the focus of the book is entirely on the situation in the USA. Is this just American parochialism, or is there some international interest for readers from the rest of the world?

Michael It's about the US response, however it's really about the lead-up to it and the ways the US was not prepared to handle it because of the years before.…moreIt's about the US response, however it's really about the lead-up to it and the ways the US was not prepared to handle it because of the years before. COVID actually being in the US is only like the last 50 pages of the book.(less)
