Non-Fiction Memoir
Rainn Wilson’s memoir about growing up geeky and finally
finding his place in comedy, faith, and life.
For nine seasons Rainn Wilson played Dwight
Schrute, everyone's favorite work nemesis and beet farmer.
Viewers of The Office fell in love with the character
and grew to love the actor who played him even more. Rainn
founded a website and media company, SoulPancake, that
eventually became a bestselling book of the same name. He
also started a hilarious Twitter feed (sample tweet: “I'm
not on Facebook” is the new “I don't even own a TV”) that
now has more than four million followers.
Now, he's ready to tell his own story and explain how he
came up with his incredibly unique sense of humor and
perspective on life. He explains how he grew up
“bone-numbingly nerdy before there was even a modicum of
cool attached to the word.” The Bassoon King
chronicles his journey from nerd to drama geek (“the highest
rung on the vast, pimply ladder of high school losers”), his
years of mild debauchery and struggles as a young actor in
New York, his many adventures and insights about The
Office, and finally, Wilson's achievement of success and
satisfaction, both in his career and spiritually,
reconnecting with the artistic and creative values of the
Bahá’í faith he grew up in.
