In this conversation, I interview Robert Rosen, a writer and author. We discuss various topics, including Robert's writing career, his possession of John Lennon's diaries, and his book about growing up in Brooklyn. Robert shares advice for writers and talks about the insights he gained from John Lennon's diaries. Robert Rosen discusses the lasting trauma of World War II in the neighborhood of Flatbush in Brooklyn. He reflects on the effects of the war and concentration camps on the residents, including the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the atmosphere of anger and hatred. He shares his experience working in the pornography industry and the impact of technology on the business. Finally, he talks about his upcoming book, which explores the 1970s and the transition from the student left to the punk movement.
