Author Steven Church Talks About His Latest Book, And Why It Is And Isn't "Disturbing"

Author Steven Church spoke about his latest book, which is a collection of essays spanning Church's adult life.

Author and Fresno State professor Steven Church has written several books, many of them as compilations of essays. His latest is called “I’m Just Getting to the Disturbing Part: On Work, Fear, and Fatherhood."

The essays span Church’s adult life, from jobs he took soon after college to his first few years as a transplant in Fresno. Church sat down with us to talk about how this book differs from his others. He notes that while it might be "disturbing" to some, it’s balanced by humor and levity that he says he developed in his later essays. Listen to the interview for more.
