This week as my special guest from the arts I’m pleased to be interviewing, Garth Stein, New York Times best-selling author, playwright, and Academy-Award-winning film-maker. Garth is the author of four novels, including his recently released new novel A Sudden Light. His book The Art of Racing in the Rain has sold more than four million copies in 35 languages, and spent more than three years on the New York Times bestseller list. It has inspired a Young Reader edition as well as a children’s picture book adaptation (2014), a stage adaptation by Book-It Repertory Theatre in Seattle, and is currently in development with Universal Studios for a major motion picture. Garth is also the author of a full-length play Brother Jones. Before turning to writing full-time, Garth was a documentary filmmaker, directing, editing, and/or producing several award-winning films, including The Lunch Date, winner of the Academy award for live action short in 1990, and The Last Party, starring Robert Downey, Jr. Garth is co-founder of Seattle7Writers, a non-profit organization dedicated to energizing readers and writers and their communities by providing funding, programming, donations of free books to those in need, and generally inspiring enthusiasm for reading. Join me Saturday 9-10 PM to find out more about the life and art of this inspiring man! For more info and to hear previous shows visit www.itsaquestionofbalance.com
