Eleven Forty-Seven is a Russian, a reader, an enjoyer of discomfort, a student, world-traveler, adept boxer and exceptional writer. He joins Tom and me to discuss the state of the world. The problem with literacy rates, schools, and much more. We dive into the need to support independent publishers, read Dostoevsky and making ourselves uncomfortable.
