In this episode Matt Crawford speaks with author David Laskin about his book What Sammy Knew. A touching and engrossing novel about a young man's coming of age story in the turbulent 60's and 70's. Laskin tells the story of Sammy and brings us back to the politics, drugs and activism of the era through Sammy's eyes and actions. What really brings us back is the relationship between this young Jewish man and his African American housekeeper Tutu Carter. This is a fun, thought provoking and emotional read.
