Book cover for "The Premonition" by Michael Lewis

Bestselling author Michael Lewis’s new book, “The Premonition: A Pandemic Story,” is a non-fiction thriller that pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the COVID-19 outbreak.This conversation was recorded before the recent passing of his 19 year-old daughter in a car accident. We wish him and his family healing time and our condolences.
