Summary:
"Rainn Wilson is best known for his role as Dwight Schrute, the power-hungry sycophant on NBC Television's The Office. This is his memoir about growing up geeky and how he came up with his unique sense of humor and perspective on
life
. 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 in The Office, and finally, his achievement of success and satisfaction, both in his career and spiritually, reconnecting with the artistic and creative values of the Bahai
faith
he grew up in. Rainn Wilson is the creator of the website and YouTube channel SoulPancake"--Provided by publisher.
