David Von Drehle - The Book of Charlie: Wisdom from the remarkable American life of a 109-year-old man

from Chatter on Books

"Keep making friends." Chatter rolls into July with Torie, Claude, Renaissance man Nevin Martell and Intern/Content Manager Lily Martin. They marvel at Legos and Nevin's status as the "Anthony Bourdain of foraging."  Award winning David Von Drehle zooms in from the heartland to share "The Book of Charlie."  David's neighbor, Dr. Charlie White, thrived through more than a century of change with resilience, grit and ever present stoicism. There are epic journeys, medical innovations, heartaches, and loves.
