i wrote a whole 780 pages with a fictional city and a fictional state and that was a mistake. i wrote it based on my own experiences so it clearly came from little rock. he came from arkansas, it came from central arkansas. and the publisher, the first thing he said when he got the book is you can have fictionalized places but you've got to have a real city and you've got to have a real state. so that was an easy shift to make and i'm glad i did. i think it's a better book because i did. although i left in some fictionalized places in it. i refer to a hotel called the arbitrage and you might recognize the hotel a little bit because i call it a place that used to be a former house of ill recruit -- bill repute which is now famous hotel in little rock that most of you would know that. it might have a little bit of analogy to a current hotel. again the characters and we will talk about this because at some point i have to stop this and do what i enjoy the most inept have a conversation with you. that's the way this whole thing is built, a conversation with webb hubbell and right

a number of fiction writers. and then the s and s list when you talk about non-fiction there are a few publishers who can boast a list. walter isaacson, bob woodward and the list of non-fiction writers on the catalog is mind-blowing. >> do authors like doing publicity? >> some more than others. some are better at it than others. some come to play. some come to work. we figure out what somebody's needs are and adjust. it is the most fun when someone comes to play and as humor about it. then we can have fun. someone asked how to do publicity for man like christopher hitchinson and i said you get out of his way. >> how would you describe the health of the publishing industry today? >> i think it is in better health than it has been for a while. when digital publishing came into the world there was a certain amount of fear and trepidation of what was going to happen but it added energy and capabilities. i talked about the advertising thing but dick simon and matt used to chat with consumers and now we can agree to go

. >> in terms of presenting -- what does fiction -- what does fiction allow you to do and what do youiction allows cohort of your peers and what do they react against? >> fiction is -- you put yourself in the skulling are right? so fiction invites the reader to think about that experience from the inside. which was really important to me. it's important to me to bring the reader in and also have narrators who wouldn't necessarily agree with each other. right? so you can start making kind of valued judgments about the sort of claims about their experience they're making. it also lets you pressurize things. the questions i came black -- came back with, were questions about not just what i'd been through but what people i'd known had been through. there were -- i couldn't have explored those things through memoir. i like good memoir. i can't talk shit about memoirs with a memoirist. >> sure you can. >> but for me personally, think -- i find it hard because the story -- there are stories you want to tell yourself about what you have been through. but if you put it into fiction, you take t

in my fiction i do get to imagine "what if."t if the things that i'm writing about as a journalist were pushed to the limit. what if i could get inside see what was going on in my new book "the director" came to the c.i.a. somebody walked in to the american consulate and said, you've been hacked, we're inside your systems. what would he do? where would he turn? that for me through my whole career has been start can with things that are real then thinking, what if. what would they do if the next thing was pushed. >> to some extent, we're all attuned like everyone in the country we're immersed with media constantly. and it's a flicker or twitter away, a world story. what we as novelists as fiction writers do is put a different spin. i'll see something, it can be the most bizarre, the craziest thing you think how in the world did somebody get in that situation. you start asking the "what if" and put a different spin on the factual story and that's where i have come up with some ideas with which to work and expand on. >> years ago r

>> guest: commercial fiction is largely digital. now it is a majority of sales of almost any commercial property. but it can also be literary novel and fiction in general is highly digital. it can be a literary novel because you read the review and essay i would like to read that it is so easy to buy you don't have to do anything you just push a button and so we have found commercial and also memoir and i think it's because it reads like fiction in that it's a linear and to start at the beginning and go to the end. there's not a lot of referring back. the ones that are the least digital other than children's books and cookbooks are serious nonfiction. on the bottom of the left-hand page and on the topic you can't do that digitally so referring back and forth that happens with serious nonfiction is much more difficult to do digitally. so anything that is linear seems to be the things that have the highest digital sales. sales. >> we designed the interiors for the adult books and other digital products for all of the users. if i grab

nonfiction is crept closer to fiction in a time in ways that are not flattering depiction. in part because too many writers cannot come to terms with the ways in which the past like the future is dark. there is so much we don't know and to write truthfully about lives, your own or your mothers or celebrated figures, a crisis to another culture, to engage repeatedly with patches of dark of those nights of history, the places of unknowing. they tell us there are limits to knowledge, mysteries starting with the notion we know is what someone thought or felt in the absence of exact information. often enough we don't know such things even when it comes to ourselves let alone some who perished. filling in the blanks requires replacing the truth that we don't know entirely with the false sense that we too. we know less when we give honestly think we know then when we recognize that we don't. sometimes i think these pretenses at authoritative knowledge our failures of language, the language of bold assertion is simpler, less taxing, an then the language of nuance and ambiguity in s
