Bestselling author Brendan Slocumb joins the L.A. Times Book Club on Feb. 23 to discuss his debut, 'The Violin Conspiracy.'
Tracy Kidder joins the L.A. Times Book Club to discuss “Rough Sleepers,” about a doctor’s mission to bring healing to homeless people.
In the first drafts, Slocumb says some of his writing was too technical. “It would make perfect sense to me and perfect sense to my musical colleagues, but when I let a nonmusician read it they were like, ‘This is a foreign language to me. I have no idea what this means.’” Slocumb says it has been gratifying to learn that the book is changing perspectives. Some readers, especially older white men, expressed shock at the figures and personal experiences detailed in his author’s note. “They would say, ‘I just didn’t believe it until I read this. And now I look at people and look at situations differently. I understand now that I can’t view everyone through the exact same lens, not everyone’s experience is the same as mine.
Initially, he was disappointed by his draft. So he put the story away for about six months, and when he read his “Symphony of Secrets” manuscript again he thought, “Whoa, I’m actually digging this and this is a good story. Did I write this? I just had to step away from it.”
