Frank Asplund
Frank Asplund asked Erik Larson:

When will you make another appearance in the Chicago area?

Erik Larson Ha, all too soon--I'm speaking at the Union League next week (where I am NOT allowed to wear jeans), and then I'm doing talks in Naperville and Skokie.

Kurt
Kurt asked Erik Larson:

Who influenced your approach to non-fiction story telling? Two of my favorite non-fiction books are In Cold Blood & The Executioners Song which both were very effective.

Jen
Jen asked Erik Larson:

I loved, loved, loved devil in the white city almost as much as I love Chicago. What in the world drew you to major in Russian history? What is your craziest international incident? Mine was being attacked by a bat in my hotel room in Tianjin, China. I'm convinced bats can see.

Samantha
Samantha asked Erik Larson:

Have you ever grown 'attached', so to speak, to any of the historical individuals you've researched for your writing? Were there any, for whom, you would have wished a different fate?
