Welcome to part 2 of my interview with Kenneth C. Davis, author of the brand new book THE WORLD IN BOOKS: 52 Works of Great Short Nonfiction – a curated journey through fifty-two of the most significant short nonfiction works ever penned, from ancient times to the present day.

Kenneth is also the author of Don’t Know Much About® History, which spent 35 consecutive weeks on The New York Times bestseller list, and gave rise to the Don’t Know Much About® series of books and audios, which has a combined in-print total of some 4.7-million copies.

We covered:

- How the editing process reminds him of the myth of Sisyphus

- Why his inner critic sounds a lot like Joseph Conrad and E.B. White

- A chills-inducing pep talk for reading

- The harm caused by the idea of American exceptionalism

- Re-examining American’s history through a lens of equity

- Comparing our current political climate to 1968 and drawing parallels
