Sean Penn with Paul Theroux: Bob Honey Sings Jimmy Crack Corn

Sep 10, 2019

Join the Academy Award winning actor, director and writer Sean Penn for a candid conversation about his new novel, Bob Honey Sings Jimmy Crack Corn—a madcap satire and political thriller that only Penn could have written. What (or who) inspired the hilariously deranged title character of both of Penn’s novels? Are there parallels between writing fiction, directing and acting? How has the state of America in the last five years fueled Penn’s singular and hilariously twisted vision?
