David Frum doesn't need much of an introduction - if you've paid any attention to Canadian or US politics over the last twenty-five or so years, you know him. He's written ten books, is featured in The Atlantic magazine, is a sought-after commentator on television and online - in short, he's a leading observer of American society. This conversation isn't about politics. It's primarily about writing - but it's about lots more besides. We discuss how and why he writes fiction and non-fiction, the power of texts, how he counsels overcoming writer's block, and even the differences between jealousy and envy. You can easily find David's work in lots of places - for his latest, check him out on Twitter @davidfrum or at https://www.theatlantic.com/author/david-frum/
