Featuring a heartfelt foreword from the game's North American localization director, Marcus Lindblom, Baumann's EarthBound is a joyful tornado of history, criticism, and memoir.
Baumann explores the game’s unlikely origins, its brilliant creator, its madcap plot, its marketing failure, its cult rise from the ashes, and its intersections with Japanese and American culture, all the while reflecting back on the author's own journey into the terrifying and hilarious world of adults.
Ken Baumann acted for ten years in feature films and TV. He is the author of the novels Solip and Say, Cut, Map. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and currently attends St. John's College.
