  • Welcome to Storytelling with Seth

  • This is Episode #72 The Road to Delano with John DeSimone

  • My conversation with John begins with his novel The Road to Delano.

  • Together we walked through California's history.

  • We started with Cesar Chavez and the rights of farm workers.

  • Next we discussed the moral premise that is the backdrop for this story of Adrian and Jack.

  • Our topics soon included John's writing process, an upcoming sequel, and my personal history with California's farm workers.

  • Midwest Book Reviews calls The Road to Delano "the kind of narrative storytelling style that keeps the reader's total attention from cover to cover"

  • About My Guest:

  • John DeSimone is a published writer, novelist, and teacher.

  • He’s been an adjunct professor and holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Spalding University.

  • His recent co-authored books include Broken Circle: A Memoir of Escaping Afghanistan (Little A Publishers), and Courage to Say No by Dr. Raana Mahmood, about her struggles against sexual exploitation as a female physician in Karachi.

  • His novel Leonardo’s Chair was published in 2005. In 2012, he won a prestigious Norman Mailer Fellowship to complete his most recent historical novel, Road to Delano.

  • His novels Leonardo’s Chair and No Ordinary Man have received critical recognition.
