Daniya asked Lawrence Wright:

Hello Mr. Wright, how are you doing? I'am a MA student and I'am doing a research paper about the representation of contemporary forms of war mentioned in your novel The End of October. And I would like to hear from you... what message did you really want to indicate presenting forms of war and war literature in the novel?

Lawrence Wright Thanks, Daniya. I was a conscientious objector during Vietnam, and have always had a horror of war. The message I have in "The End of October" is that war is evolving to be more awful and indiscriminate.

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?

Mark Miano
Mark Miano asked Lawrence Wright:

What is the process you go through for finding the topic that you want to write about next? What is the feeling you get that tells you, “Yeah, this is what I want to spend the next year of my life on!” Has that feeling ever failed you?

Charles Bright
Charles Bright asked Lawrence Wright:

I was actually wondering something about your previous book, "Going Clear": Why was there no mention about the 'South Park' episode, "Trapped in the Closet," or of the subsequent departure of Isaac Hayes from the show following the episode?
