Jonathan Eig: Biographer Of Icons

Before The Cheering Started with Budd Mishkin

If you're writing about American icons like Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali, you better bring your A game. And Jonathan Eig has. His latest book is "King: A Life," the first biography of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in more than 30 years. It's beautifully written, a must read. Jonathan Eig fell in love with the written word and the feel of the newsroom while working for his local paper in high school. The love affair continues to this day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
