Episode one forty five – part two

Former NYT Reporter turned full time writer Margalit Fox zoomed in from the ether to tell us all about her latest narrative non-fiction book Confidence Men, a true story involving two prisoners of war (WWI) who elaborately conned their captors into facilitating their escape by way of a make-shift ouija board and a few well staged seances. Gertrude Stein makes a significant appearance in this story as well — though not in a way you could imagine. We promise, this is one non-fiction book that will have your jaw dropping at every turn.
