Speaker Description of The Discussion:
It’s 1985 and Ronald Armstrong, known in the magic mushroom trade as “Trip,” takes a “sober” job as a driver for a retired Tampa mobster. His boss, Charlie Wall, has survived four attempts on his life, the last one in 1955. When Charlie falls into depression, Trip rebuilds his boss’ self-esteem by convincing him people still want him dead. What neither of them know is that an aging hit man has decided to finish the job he botched 30 years earlier.The Everlasting Life of Charlie Wall is based on a real-life Tampa mobster and includes Charlie’s first-person account of his life of crime and the loss of the woman he loves.
