Tom Zoellner on Rim to River

Tom Zoellner on Rim To River

March 28, 2023. This week on Bibliocracy Radio, KPFK’s weekly literary arts show, I feature acclaimed nonfiction writer Tom Zoellner. His most recent book is about his home state, its history, politics and geography and, importantly, his growing-up there. All of it is told through a long 800-mile (!) trek from the Grand Canyon to the Mexico border, a walking and remembering and researching and, finally revelatory journey on the “Arizona Trail.” Rim to River: Looking into the Heart of Arizona is a personal encyclopedia, a field guide to people and politics, and a gorgeously told memoir --- both an adventure and a reckoning. Thanks for supporting listener-supported Pacifica Radio KPFK 90.7 FM for all of Southern California.
