Ross Simonini - Writer, Artist, Thinker

Ross Simonini is a modern day cultural Renaissance man. On this episode we discuss his gripping first novel, 'The Book of Formation', a story that explores the complexities and ambiguities of a culture transfixed by celebrity, personality, and individual identity. Get out there and read it and follow along with an unnamed journalist as he studies and interviews a charismatic and enigmatic self-help leader over a 20-yr period.  Thanks to Ross's talent as a masterful writer, sharp storyteller, and endlessly inquisitive thinker, you'll be engaged and rewarded by the insights and questions he has brought to light in his impressive debut.
