Teerth Brahmbhatt asked Lawrence Wright:

Since you've done such a good job documenting events in the real world through your writing what is something you think doesn't currently get enough attention proportionate to its importance in the world?

Lawrence Wright I've written a lot about religious beliefs, and I was just asked if I would be interested in writing about another denomination. It's been my observation that strong political views may not alter personal behavior at all. I think we all know people in that category. But for those who adhere to powerful religious views, their lives are ordered by them. Journalists maybe spend too much time deciphering political views and not enough on religious beliefs.

Do you see any relation between your novel and the nonfiction you've written? I'm especially interested if there's a connection to the theme of extreme belief, which has been a theme of your work in the past. Thanks in advance. Really looking forward to reading The End of October.
