Lawrence Wright: vesper martini (2 1/2 ounces gin, 1 ounce vodka, 1/2 ounce Lillet blonde
The Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist discusses the pivotal role Texas will play in the future of America, suggests Tom Cruise has a moral obligation to speak out against Scientology, reveals his notable hypnosis skills, shares his organization strategies for the hundreds of interviews and secondary sources he uses in research, the appalling treatment he received at a book event, whether religion or politics is a more powerful force in shaping our behaviors, and why some books can still connect with readers decades into the future while others cannot.
