Interviewing top nonfiction authors about their latest work. All after words programs are also available as podcasts. It is so good to talk to you. Another book journalist. How do you primarily think of yourself these days . Guest i still very much see myself as a book critic. This book is just sort of an extension of that work. These days i feel like i am a political journalist and just using books as a means to that kind of work. Is that something that you steered clear of . I didnt have a sense that i wanted to necessarily be an author or write a book. Reading other peoples books was plenty and i learned a little bit if i went through the process of writing a book it would be sympathetic to the authors and ruin me for my day job but i think that its been useful to see that side of the process and all the work that goes into creating that product i usually get at the tail end.

I wanted to grapple with the insiders and academics and journalists and how they were thinking about this moment in real time so maybe a better way to explain it is to think of it as a snapshot of an intellectual moment future historians can look at to get the sense of how we thought about trump in a moment. Its interesting you talk about books that oversimplify things, this is how we got here, this is how its happened. There was an increased interest in sales and in particular, novels with brave new world and postapocal
We have to oppose the extension of the savory slavery. The immigrant societies formed in the north. They would give money to fund immigrants. They did something comparable. They have an advantage because kansas territory was right next to missouri as a slave state. And the missourians the board into kansas and they would destroy the free state settlement. The idea was to make kansas unfriendly. This is where john brown comes in. By this time almost as committed to the antislavery cause. Theyre not initially can it take up arms. They said bob you bobby should come join us. He is increasingly distressed at the failure of the to actually frustrate the proslavery courses. They seem to be rolling right over physically over the antislavery side. He needs to take strong action to send a message to the pro slavery side. They descend on aim proslavery settlement and they drag five men close savory slavery settlers and just outside the cabins where they are living there right off into the night.
