Lawrence Wright's prescient novel about a global pandemic
Amid a global pandemic comes a novel about a global pandemic. Lawrence Wright wrote “The End of October” before the new coronavirus was discovered in China, but some of its chapters feel ripped from today’s headlines. Wright joins Jeffrey Brown to discuss returning to fiction after years in journalism and what inspired his prescient story. It's part of our arts and culture series, Canvas.
