Today's guest is Tom Lutz, editor in chief of the l. A Review of Books, a non profit dedicated to promoting writing about literature, culture and the arts. Tom teaches creative writing at the University of California. Tom has dovetailed his wanderlust and passion for writing into seven nonfiction books, some on travel one on the history of slackers, another on the history of tears. His first crime novel, Born Slippy, was published in January. Tom joined me today to talk about some of the monumental changes he's seen in publishing during this decade as well as how global trade and politics affects every day artists.
