Andres Martinez
Andres Martinez is a great journalist, writer and now think-tanker. And he’s had a career of Sophoclean ups and downs that could have been a storyline in my book.
He and I had drinks the other day. Now Andres has penned a “Drinks With” column about me on Zocalo Public Square, an intellectual gathering point for the Los Angeles area.
It’s more about me than about the book. But Andres does use a phrase I will steal from now on when telling people what type of book it is:
genre-bending
Thank you, Andres!!
Hannibal and Me: life lessons from history 
Did you consider bringing a video camera and running it while you both talked, and calling the end product “My Dinner With Andres”?
We would have had to edit out the naked table-dancing, and we didn’t want to risk the charge of censorship.
