Bruce Watson is "a writer with a most inquiring mind" (Washington Times). From the corners American history to the whims of light in the cosmos and in human culture, his books offer not just narrative but inspiration. His "biography" of light, though nominated for an L.A. Times Book Prize in science, is not just a science book but a journey through millennia in pursuit of the elusive mysteries of light. His narratives of Freedom Summer and the Sacco and Vanzetti case went beyond familiar stories to discover new facts, new letters, new insights. His brief bios of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert dug up archived moments from their careers while putting them into the context of American comedy. And his book on the 1912 Bread and Roses textile strike remains the only full narrative of that heart-breaking and hopeful moment in time. When not writing books, Watson writes an online magazine, The Attic, featuring "true stories for a kinder, cooler America." www.theattic.space.
