Gylfie Whitneyi asked Tommy Wallach:

Dear Mr. Wallach Hello! My name is Gylfie. What's it like to be an author? What inspired you to write your first book?

Tommy Wallach Hey Gylfie! It's great. As for what inspired WALU, it was basically Lars von Trier's "Melancholia." Of course my FIRST novel was never published, and it was inspired by Douglas Adams "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
