Sewers of Paris: There Was a Rage (Ep 467 - Star Wars/Karl Dunn) (Patreon)

My guest this week is writer, activist, and former gold trader Karl Dunn, whose new book How to Burn a Rainbow (available for pre-order on Amazon) is a memoir of how he pieced his life back together after a chaotic divorce. Karl’s journey from wedded bliss through a nightmare of legal battles and losing his livelihood and then ultimately finding inner peace sounds like a Hollywood narrative — which isn’t surprising, given that he worked for a time as a screenwriter, drawing on inspiration from wildly different sources from epic sci-fi novels to angry hip-hop to confrontational queer activism.
