Simon Winchester

from Harper Audio Presents Hosted by Harper Audio Presents

Masterful nonfiction stylist Simon Winchester reveals that he might never have become a writer had he not been colorblind. Lucky for us, his Christmas wreaths are monochrome. Winchester mines the Pacific Ocean for stories about transistor radios, the origins of the California surfing craze, and the lessons to be learned from navigating by the stars.
