Ahmed asked Lawrence Wright:

Good Afternoon, Really enjoyed, 'Looming Tower.' Wonderful book. How difficult was it for you to transition from Non-fiction to fiction and which genre did you enjoy writing more? Thank you.

Lawrence Wright I love all genres. I have written nonfiction books, magazine articles, novels, plays, movies, and I'm even working on a musical. To me, they are all forms of storytelling. That's what I really love. I just try to find the right format to tell the story.

Jerry asked Lawrence Wright:

Hi Mr. Lawrence, thanks for the Looming Tower, it's a great read. You note that Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist murdered in Turkey by the Saudis, was a confidant of UBL. Why do you think Khashoggi was murdered? What are you thoughts as to why this connection was never, to my knowledge, acknowledged in the US press coverage of that event. I think the press saw it as an opportunity to smear Trump, nothing more.

Cwiegard

Cwiegard asked Lawrence Wright:

I enjoyed "Going Clear" as an excellent exploration of the dark side of human nature through the prism of a cult religion. I understand that a fiction pandemic thriller is a very different writing effort, but did your nonfiction career inform your new writing effort, either regarding human nature, the role of research in establishing realism, or some other way?
