Episode 56: David Duchovny

David Duchovny spent 9 years investigating paranormal phenomenon on the X-Files, the series that turned him into a star in the 90s. The actor also has other passions. He’s written 4 novels in the past five years. His latest is called Truly Like Lightning. It’s a big book about a big theme that pits a former stuntman who becomes a Morman and lives in the desert with his 3 wives and 10 children against a Hollywood real estate developer who hopes to make a killing from the family’s land. And there’s more. Duchovny’s senior thesis at Princeton was called “The Schizophrenic Critique of Pure Reason in Beckett’s Early Novels.” And he sings too.
