Helping writers of every stage of their career love the opportunity to talk to public authors about their most recent books and dig in a little bit more than we get to as often as we would like so we are learning more about what went into creating the book especially the books were talking about today there are so many interesting things that would be applicable to any writers.

Post sir sherard. Thank you counsel, the case is submitted. After the oral argument, attorney spoke about the case on the Supreme Court steps. Leading off with paul clement, representing the new york state rifle and pistol association. My name is paul clement represented the petitioners in the Supreme Court today. I dont know if there will be questions from anybody but i wanted to quickly say that we are very gratified that the Supreme Court heard the arguments in todays case. This is a very important case. My clients have been litigating this case for over five years theyve been represented by a great team that goes well beyond me.

The reason they filed this lawsuit five years ago was to try to vindicate their rights under the Second Amendment. Up until the point that the Supreme Court granted certiorari in this case, the city of new york had resisted their efforts to vindicate their rights in every

Dakota for over 100 years to my new book from warm center to ragged and takes its title from mister got Scott Fitzgerald who is the author of probably most famously of the great gatsby and if you remember your gatsby from back in high school or college, you remember that nick karoly was from minnesota. Nick karoly went off to war, this would have been world war i and when he came back, he decided that he thought it would be sort of doll to move back to minnesota. Which he saw as the ragged edge of the universe. And he decided to move to new york and he got mixed up in the roaring 20s. On long island with gatsby and all that cast of characters from his book. But in the end, when he sees what happens to many of these characters, he begins to see the old midwest where he came from as the warm center of the world. So that contract is what i tried to draw in my new book, from warm center to ragged edge. In the decades after the civil war, the midwest was seen by many commentators as the pac
