Todd
asked
Lawrence Wright:
Do you see a throughline in your books? Apocalyptic moments? Faith without skepticism? The frustration of being a Cassandra figure? Or are they just topics that stir you somewhat randomly?
Lawrence Wright
Todd, when I'm writing, I don't think of how I might be perceived as the author. I'm trying to tell a story, but of course my own experience, thoughts, and even my moods color the way I tell it. If there is a through-line, it has to do with what interests me, and how can I make those things interesting to the reader.
