Brad Meltzer: 2008 National Book Festival
Description
“Every novel is just a big, fat lie trying to masquerade as the truth,” says novelist Brad Meltzer. He talks about the genesis of his new book, the real story behind the creation of the comic book character Superman, and why the biblical interpretation of Cain and Abel is wrong.
