“You don’t know when you’ve kicked up the hornets’ nest until they’re all on you.” Brin-Jonathan Butler.
“The decision itself was the villain.” Brin-Jonathan Butler
Written by Brendan O’Meara
Brin-Jonathan Butler returns this time to talk about his wonderful memoir The Domino Diaries: My Decade Boxing with Olympic Champions and Chasing Hemingway’s Ghost in the Final Days of Castro’s Cuba.
In this latest episode, we really drill down on his book and his time in Cuba. It “closed a door on a decade,” as Brin says.
The experience was, in some ways, a gamble. But the reasoning was simple because it allows him to lead a life worth writing about, as he says.
So I hope you enjoy this episode. Also, be sure to listen to our Round 1.
I ask that you subscribe to the podcast (working on getting it in the Android store. For now it’s on iTunes), subscribe to my monthly newsletter, and to share the podcast with folks you think may enjoy it.
