Summary

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.
