Jonthan Evison
Jonathan Evison is the bestselling, award winning author of ten novels, including Lawn Boy, one of the most challenged and banned books in America. Critics have compared his work to Charles Dickens, J.D. Salinger, and John Irving, among others. Sherman Alexie has called Evison “the most honest white man alive.” In addition to being a beloved author, Evison is formerly a syndicated talk show host with musical roots in the early 1980s Seattle punk scene, as the founder and frontman of the punk band March of Crimes. As a host, Evison’s strengths are his warmth, humanity, humor, curiosity, unique life experience, and wide-ranging knowledge across a dizzying variety of subjects from literature to sports to music to philosophy to pop culture to history and beyond.
