*Scratching the Surface: Adventures in Storytelling *details Harvey
Ovshinsky's lifetime of adventures as an urban enthusiast. He was only
seventeen when he started *The Fifth Estate *here in Detroit, one of the
country's oldest underground newspapers. Five years later, he became one of
the country's youngest news directors in commercial radio at WABX-FM,
Detroit's revered progressive rock station. Ovshinsky was often in the crux
of the nation's tumultuous counterculture of the 1960s and 70s, and he
would go on to receive broadcasting's highest honors as a documentary
filmmaker, including a national Emmy, a Peabody, and the American Film
Institute's Robert M. Bennett Award for Excellence.

Ovshinsky's memoir doubles as a survival guide and an instruction manual,
speaking on the nature of and need for storytelling, but how the creative
process requires both endurance and resilience.
