DAVID BIANCULLI, HOST:This is FRESH AIR. I'm David Bianculli. Our guest today is bestselling author and New Yorker magazine staff writer David Grann. Grann has a knack for finding little-known stories from history and turning them into books that are page-turners. His nonfiction book "The Wager," now out in paperback, is no exception. It's about a shipwreck and mutiny in the 1700s. Martin Scorsese plans to adapt it into a film.
