Rainn Wilson's memoir about growing up geeky and finally finding his place in comedy, trust, and life. For nine periods Rainn Wilson performed Dwight Schrute, everyone's favorite work nemesis and beet farmer. Audiences of The Office fell deeply in love with the character and grew to love the acting professional who performed him even more. Rainn founded an online site and marketing company, SoulPancake, that eventually became a best-selling book of the same name. He also started out a hilarious Twitter feed (test tweet: "I'm not on Facebook" is the new "I don't even own a TV") that now has more than four million supporters. Now, he's ready to notify his own account and clarify how he developed his extremely unique love of life and point of view on life. He points out how he grew up "bone-numbingly nerdy before there is a good modicum of cool mounted on the term." The Bassoon King chronicles his voyage from nerd to play geek ("the highest rung on the great, pimply ladder of high school losers"), his years of gentle debauchery and challenges as a young actor in New York, his many ventures and insights about The Office, and, finally, Wilson's achievements of success and satisfaction, both in his profession and spiritually, reconnecting with the artistic and creative beliefs of the Bahá'í trust he grew up in.
