Obvious in Hindsight | Bradley Tusk

from Books for Men · host Douglas Vigliotti

In this episode of the Books for Men podcast, host Douglas Vigliotti discusses a new novel called Obvious in Hindsight by Bradley Tusk. The book follows the story of Lisa Lim, an underling of Nick Denevito, the owner of a political consultant group, as they try to legalize flying cars in three cities—New York, Austin, and LA. Vigliotti describes the book as reading like a piece of autofiction, a genre that blends elements of an author's autobiography with a fictional narrative, saying, “There is nobody better suited to write this story than Tusk.” He praises the book for its usage of multiple point-of-views, present-tense narration, satirical elements, and its ability to make readers question the industries and decisions that shape society. He also reminds listeners that Tusk owns an indie bookstore in NYC, P&T Knitwear, and shares a favorite quote from the book. Vigliotti encourages everyone to check out the book and support the podcast by sharing it with others, and reminding them they can always connect with him on Instagram @douglasvigliotti.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the podcast.
