Six Degrees of NPR
Running errands, listening to NPR PRI (Show: Here and Now), and … wait … that name sounds familiar …
Yep, Tom Zoellner, the interviewed author of The Heartless Stone turns out to be the same Tom Zoellner I went to college with. Of course, I didn’t really know him, although one of my closest friends was his roommate for a term or two. It was a bit surprising, but not a bowl-me-over moment, as his name popped up in the references to a book read last winter, Jon Krakauer’s Under the Banner of Heaven, stemming from his time at the Salt Lake Tribune. Nice to see high-quality stuff coming from fellow Lawrence grads!
