Edgardo Luis asked Lawrence Wright:

Hi, Lawrence. What’s your favorite drink and what historical figure would you have a drink with?

Lawrence Wright I often have a frozen Dripping Springs vodka before dinner while I'm playing piano. Jeez, there are so many historical figures I would love to talk to, but the one who immediately springs to mind is Abraham Lincoln. Not only a profound person but also appealingly humorous. I think an evening with him would be both ennobling and amusing.

Cynthia asked Lawrence Wright:

I am so excited about this book. I only started in this afternoon, and haven't read more than a few pages... but I was wondering how much of this story is based on the actual history vs. how much is your creativity? I love your writing.... stay well, and keep writing!

Is there any particular reason that you chose a novel as the form for this book rather than non-fiction for this material? Which would have been more scary?

Have you spent time in Jeddah? (I grew up there during the 90s.) If so, what were your impressions of it and of Saudi society?
