Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Ed Friedman as my guest.

Episode description and notes

I Will Not Be Ignored I Will Not Be Ignored combines fiction, non-fiction and opinion to create a humorous take on three aspects of the author’s thinking: his outlook on the proliferation of “current wisdom” so plentiful in the internet age; his imaginings, providing multiple answers to different versions of “what if?”, and his personal experience in navigating his own shortcomings, failures, and fears. In the section of the book titled Things That Happened, we learn about Friedman’s lust for food he should be avoiding; his lack of any sense of direction behind the wheel; and his accumulation of medical specialists that seem to grow with each passing year. In the section Things That Could Happen, we find a man, Lou, possessed with a new power he doesn’t want; another man with a power he’s always wanted; and a machine that would solve a myriad of the world’s problems. In the section Things I Think I Think, the author admonishes the American Automobile Association; provides some tough love to those seeking personal advice from the New York Times; and issues a wakeup call to people who get information on real estate over the internet. This humor here is not meant to hurt but to tweak. And the person getting tweaked the most is undoubtedly the author.#PodMatch Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?
