#PouredOver: John Wray on Gone to the Wolves
“It's more than responsibility. It's fear of just sucking — I don't want to write some garbage that people are going to dismiss.”
John Wray’s new novel Gone to the Wolves brings the world of heavy metal to the masses, following a group of young people on a nonstop ride from teenage angst to the dark recesses of doomsday cults. Wray joins us to talk about the responsibility of writing about subcultures, his vibrant characters, music you can listen to while you write and more with guest host, Jenna Seery. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Madyson.
This episode of Poured Over was produced and hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang. Poured Over is brought to you by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and the booksellers of Barnes & Noble.

John Wray & Colson Whitehead | The Lost Time Accidents
The Lost Time Accidents is the triumphant, outsize return of Whiting Award-winning novelist John Wray. Coming on the heels of the best-selling Lowboy, it’s a wild ride through time, space, history, and science, with a burning core of heartbreak. Telling the story of a man unstuck in time, it’s a blisteringly inventive work that cements Wray’s reputation as a vanguard talent in American fiction.
John is joined in conversation by another wide-ranging 21st-century talent, New York Times columnist and novelist Colson Whitehead, He's the author most recently of The Noble Hustle, as well as Zone One, The Colossus of New York, and sundry other modern classics, the recipient of Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships, and a fellow Whiting Award winner.

Zach Galifianakis in conversation with John Wray (HQ, short version)
Watch this hilarious author video to see Zach Galifianakis in conversation with John Wray, author of the critically acclaimed literary novel Lowboy. This Zach Galifianakis video is quite possibly the funniest author interview you'll find in the world of literary fiction.
Lowboy tells the story of Will Heller, who gets on an uptown B train alone, and sets out on an odyssey through the city's tunnels, back alleys, and streets in search of Emily Wallace, his one great hope. He is on a mission to stop the planet's destruction by radical climate change. He has six hours, and the only way to do it is by losing his virginity.
