Book Lust with Nancy Pearl: Thomas Kohnstamm

Local author Thomas Kohnstamm said his latest novel, "Supersonic," is a book of place, specifically, Seattle. He told Book Lust host Nancy Pearl "Seattle isn't the Space Needle or the Fremont Troll," but rather the interactions between neighbors, the waves of people entering the city, and the constant process of building. The novel tells the stories of four families over 150 years of Seattle history, and delves into what Kohnstamm calls the mythology of the city in a way only a book written by someone born and raised here could.
