About this audio guide
This guide to The Writer's Block in Las Vegas starts with the crowned pigeon that answers written letters from customers, then traces how an artificial bird sanctuary came to surround the shelves. You'll hear how Scott Seeley, who had already run a nonprofit writing program with novelist Dave Eggers, bet that a city built on spectacle could still fall for reading, and how a former tattoo parlor on Fremont Street backed by Zappos founder Tony Hsieh grew into this mirrored building. Listen for the rabbit that lives in the young adult section.
