Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Gandhi in three different photographs spanning eighty-five years of history.In another part of town, Will—an enigmatic thirty-three-year-old of immense charm, wit, and intelligence—looks forward to the new year with hope and trepidation. “Johnson takes a big gamble by telling such a complex tale invoking every genre imaginable while juggling distinct and deep characterizations.
