“Political horror story.”
Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Torie, and man about town Rodney Ferguson. They break down Wimbledon, rave about “James” by Percival Everett, and marvel at BookTok. David shares the back brief on his upcoming book “The Basketball 100,” a celebration of the best players in NBA History. Award winning, best selling and all around cool guy Erik Larson zooms in to chat about “The Demon of Unrest: A saga of hubris, heartbreak, and heroism at the dawn of the civil war.” With his usual meticulous research and riveting writing, Larson brings new perspective on the months between Lincoln’s election and the Confederate shelling of Fort Sumter. And despite the known outcome, there’s suspense too.
