Goodreads asked Tim Galbraith:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tim Galbraith The Last Show on Earth was inspired originally by the trailers for the show Carnivale on HBO. It triggered this idea of a travelling carnival at the end of the world. The show was set in around the 30s and 40s and so I started thinking more and more about how to set up the idea that I had.
