On this episode, Patti Callahan Henry & Ron Block welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author Jess Walter to discuss his propulsive new novel So Far Gone, a hilarious, empathetic, and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren. Jess Walter is the author of eleven books published in 34 languages. His other novels include the #1 New York Times bestseller Beautiful Ruins and the NEA Big Read, The Cold Millions; The Zero, finalist for the National Book Award; and Citizen Vince, winner of the Edgar Award. His short fiction, collected in The Angel of Rome and We Live in Water, has won the O. Henry Prize, the Pushcart Prize and appeared three times in Best American Short Stories. He joins us from his hometown of Spokane, Washington to discuss So Far Gone, which has received wall-to-wall starred reviews and been named to best-of and most-anticipated lists by Vogue, Amazon, the Washington Post, the LA Times, the New York Times, and Oprah’s Book Club among others.
