Had the pleasure of moderating a talk with David Grann about his book “The Wager,” now in paperback. Here we are subtly checking each other for marbling in case we have to turn to cannibalism.

loved his book. I find it absolutely amazing that people had the trust and courage back then to get on a wooden ship and sail half way around the world
One thing I learned from the book is that PO’B’s second novel “The Unknown Shore,” his last before Aubrey/Maturin, is about the wreck of the Wager. Own it but hadn’t read it. Will fix now.

However, the “it cannot get worse for these people” page turning experience was a bit 😬.
Hey, a complete nobody script writer has to dream, right?
