Distilling Rob: Manly Lies and Whisky Truths

"Distilling Rob: Manly Lies and Whisky Truths" tells the story of how I abandoned my successful L.A. political strategist/PR/media career to reexamine my Midwestern blue collar roots by working at a whisky distillery on a Scottish island. The drastic move was an attempt to comprehend why I didn't feel connected with the adult, with the "man," I was supposed to be now that I was in my thirties. I desired to see if there was "life wisdom" to be found in the working class type of life I had run from years earlier. The story uses the whisky-making and maturation process as an analogy for how boys mature into men, weaving together past and present personal narrative arcs on a journey of understanding. My life, from insecure working class boy to a "man" who hid that insecurity behind the persona of an L.A. insider, serves as the vessel to examine how today's males, bombarded with fictional role models and the appeal of an endless adolescence, struggle to understand what it means to be an adult.
