Interview with Andrew Ferguson
Humanities Magazine, National Endowment for the Humanities, November/December 2007, online edition
"Journalist Andrew Ferguson is widely admired as a writer's writer. Over the years, in magazines from The Weekly Standard to Reader's Digest to Time and beyond, he has proven himself to be one of the few genuine stylists in American journalism and one of the wisest, funniest writers around. No less an authority on humor and good prose than Christopher Buckley said Ferguson “just may be the best writer of his generation.” Ferguson's recent book, Land of Lincoln, “a hilarious, offbeat tour of Lincoln shrines, statues, cabins, and museums,” according to the New York Times, explores America's love-hate relationship with our sixteenth president. He recently sat for an interview discussion with NEH Chairman Bruce Cole."
