Joined today by my favorite author, the iconic Erik Larson. He’s authored amazing books, such as: “The Devil in the White City”, “In the Garden of Beasts”, “Isaac’s Storm”, and “Dead Wake”. We talk about the pros and cons of living in New York City, tennis and Erik’s thoughts about Donald Trump. Erik and I talk about the importance of the Chicago World’s Fair and how he came about writing “The Devil in the White City” and how he thought his career was over the day before the book was released. We also discuss his other hit book “In The Garden of Beasts”. From movie deals to juicy fruit gum to meeting Tom Hanks, we shared cocktails and a bunch of laughs. Follow Erik on twitter: @exlarson
