In the last episode we discussed his career, biographies, and what it means to be a historian. Jonathan Eig is the author of six books, four of them <em>New York Times best sellers. The New York Times </em>hailed <em>King</em> as the \"definitive\" biography of Martin Luther King Jr. The book was awarded the New-York Historical Society’s 2024 Barbara and David Zalaznick Book Prize, which is presented annually to the nation's best work of history or biography. <em>King </em>was also nominated for the National Book Award. And last but not least, it won the Pulitzer prize for Biographies and Autobiographies.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Clyde Brittelle"}
