Hello there, this is Drafting the Past, and I’m Kate Carpenter. In each episode, I interview a historian about their writing process, and today I’m joined by Duke University historian James Chappel. James is the author of two books. His first book is titled Catholic Modern: The Challenge of Totalitarianism and the Remaking of the Church, and it focuses on the transformation of the Catholic church in twentieth century Europe. But for his second book, which is out now, he has gone in a bit of a different direction. The new book is called Golden Years: How Americans Invented and Reinvented Old Age. We’ll get into how he moved between subjects, why he says he’s always writing, and how he took a mountain of fascinating research on the history of old age and retirement and turned it into one interesting and easy to read book.
