Master fiction writer Charles Baxter joins host William Miller to discuss his latest novel, Blood Test, in a conversation that spans a wide range of topics. They explore the nature of the main character, Brock Hobson, the story’s action, the underlying ideas, and the embedded themes and connections.
The discussion touches on everything from the initially proposed cover art—which could have misrepresented the novel—to the metafictional elements woven into the narrative and Baxter’s long-held thoughts on the power of computers, an idea he’s contemplated for over 20 years. He even addresses how the novel aligns with the guidance he outlined in his craft essays from Burning Down the House.
