Episode 89: Glenn Stout
In this episode, Matt Tullis talks with Glenn Stout about his new book, \u201cTiger Girl and the Candy Kid: America\u2019s Original Gangster Couple.\u201d The book is about a husband and wife who robbed jewelers and bankers blind over the course of one year in the 1920s. It\u2019s published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and is available on March 30. \n\nStout has had an amazingly productive 2021. His book \u201cYoung Woman and the Sea\u201d will be turned into a movie for Disney+. Production should be starting soon. The book is about Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English channel. Ederle is going to be played by Daisy Ridley. She played Rey in the newest Star Wars movies.\n\nAs if that\u2019s not enough, Stout has also found a way to make sure the best sports writing in the country will continue to be anthologized. \u201cBest American Sports Writing\u201d had its 30th and final year of production in 2020. Stout had been the series editor for the entire time.\n\nHe\u2019s managed to create a new series called \u201cThe Year\u2019s Best Sports Writing. It will be published by Triumph Books. Stout will edit the first edition, and he\u2019s created an advisory board that will carry the book forward.\n\nThat book will be available in October.
