Sebastian Junger is an American journalist, author and filmmaker. He is noted for the best-written book to also spawn a great movie and a cliché, The Perfect Storm. His award-winning documentary films Restrepo and Korengal bring viewers into real wartime life. We at Quill Nook have been following Sebastian closely since he wrote Tribe in 2016 about PTSD connected to wartime experiences. He claims that the return home of the veteran, and with it the loss of togetherness of the platoon, breeds PTSD. That really got our attention here! He followed that book up with Freedom in 2021, in which he and some friends go on a long walk as vagabonds. Both the landscape around Sebastian, his companions, and his incredible reach with history make his story gripping, unforgettable, and touching. For this podcast interview, Tristan brought the Quill Nook Experience and all his questions about freedom to Sebastian’s home. Enjoy!
