This week, Ira spoke with Ernest Thompson, author of The Book of Maps: A Novel (published by Global Collective Publishing). In this atlas episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Ernest talks about his novel being the easiest story he has ever written, since he lived it; why he calls himself a storyteller and why this was a story that told him to write it; how her learned to be present with his son both in real life and created the character father to be present with his character son as they experience the adventure of driving through 16 states in the novel; how he decided on the cities and venues his characters would visit; and how he balances the mindset of Hollywood with New Hampshire (where he lives and works).
