Zahra Hankir asked Lawrence Wright:

What are you currently reading? And what’s your favourite recent magazine or long-form piece?

Lawrence Wright I'm reading Boccaccio's "Decameron," a novel written during the plague years in Florence. It's a fascinating document that prefigures the movement from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Right now I'm reading Emily Basleon's piece in the NY Times Sunday Magazine, "Can Democracy Survive the Pandemic?" She's a terrific reporter.

Irl asked Lawrence Wright:

Thank you for your dedication when conducting the 600 interviews for "The Looming Tower" over 5 years. I learned so much from the book. How do you push and probe for information in your interviews without leading your subject in a certain way? Do you provide questions ahead of meeting and/or follow up interviews?
