Top Retellings of Classic Tales
Khagi
Khagi asked Lawrence Wright:

Loved 13 Days in September. This is a hugely broad question, but what do you see as the future of Israel/Palestine? Has anything recently given you hope for reconciliation?

Lawrence Wright The short answer is no. But there is a broader context. Israel now has alliances in the Arab World that it is reluctant to surrender, such as UAE, Qatar, and to a lesser extent, Saudi and Egypt. Normalizing Israel's presence in the Middle East is a big step, one that could be in the direction of peace. On the other hand, there's a total lack of leadership, which accounts for the continuing stalemate.

Even though you are dealing with a fictional narrative (funny saying that with what's going on) in The End of October, was your approach to writing the same as it would have been if you were writing a piece of nonfiction or did it change?

James O'donoghue
James O'donoghue asked Lawrence Wright:

Much of your work explores the perils of religious extremism. Do you notice similar characteristics within secular movements, say political factions in the US today? If so, has any group you’ve studied ever found its way back to reason after it was abandoned?
