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.
