Join host Tom Riddell as he welcomes author Robert Dugoni to The Writers Lounge. Sit back and relax as Robert discusses what it's like to be a writer and he will also talk to us about his book: The World Played Chess.

Vincent Bianco, a recent high school graduate, finds a summer job working as a laborer on a construction crew. 1979 brought with it raw and horror filled stories and memories of the Viet Nam War and many of the wounds of veterans who served, were still festering and causing much emotional pain and suffering. Vincent worked with and developed a very close relationship with one of two of his co-workers who served in Viet Nam. William shared some of his stories with Vincent but much more was revealed about his time in Viet Nam via a diary, which William gave to Vincent to read. The stories within would change Vincent's life and forty years later, much of the lessons learned within that diary, would impact his relationship with his own son, as he heads off to college.
