The hardest thing to remember when you are a bank robber is that you still look like everybody else. The giant sign that says JUST ROBBED A BANK is not flashing over your head, it is IN your head.
This is a book of stories. Stories I lived before, during, and after becoming a bank robber. And make no mistake, even though I haven’t robbed any banks for years, I am still a bank robber. Once I understood the flashing sign was in my head, not over it, it was going to be in my head forever. That’s what being a bank robber taught me about the defining choices we make: They can’t be unmade. But the most important choice I made wasn’t choosing to be a bank robber. Being a bank robber just put me on the path to being everything I ever wanted to be, and more.
Because it taught me that I could choose.
Over de auteur
Tim Scott has learned to follow instructions, but seldom does it without at least some resistance. So when told by his editor that the final thing missing from his first book was the author bio, he pointed out that since the book is a memoir, the entire thing is an author bio. So here we are.
That quick irreverence and offbeat command of the obvious makes Tim a favorite among people looking for a story or two, and since he doesn’t have time to tell them to everyone, he had to write some down. Just Robbed a Bank is the best of the lot. Through his stories, you will get to know the good and bad and the highs and lows of being a bank robber in modern-well, almost modern-America.
