We met with Lee Child on the eve of his retirement as the author of the Jack Reacher book series. The premier proxy for millions of readers who yearn for revenge in lives where revenge is impractical or out of reach, the character of Jack Reacher is a figure who metes out justice against bullies in a way that ironically is equitable and fair. We reflect on Child's illustrious career, the Reacher movie and TV franchises, the handoff to his younger brother, his "one-draft" writing and research process, his love of guitars and cannabis, and what he thinks he might miss in retirement. Whether you're curious about Jack Reacher's motivations and worries, want to know about the inspiration behind the villains in The Secret, are curious about writing in general, or simply wonder what the future holds for storytelling in a world with AI, this conversation holds something for you. Join us for a thoroughly entertaining hour.
