David Rensin has written and co-written twelve books, five of them New York Times bestsellers. His latest, "All For a Few Perfect Waves: The Audacious Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki 'Da Cat' Dora," is an oral and narrative biography of the once and forever (and late) enigmatic king of Malibu and world wanderer. His previous book, "The Mailroom" (2003), was a bestselling oral history covering sixty-five years of what's it's like to start at the bottom dreaming of the top in Hollywood's premier boot camp and ambition factory: a talent agency mailroom. Unless he gets some new, wild idea and goes off the deep end, Rensin's next book will be an oral history of personal altruism in America. To find out more, wander around Rensin's website, Tell Me Everything, where there are no opinions, all the time. He saves those for LA Observed, and for his non-stop invective while watching way, way too much television. He should be writing. Email
