YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

America's Book Club -- John Grisham on writing nonfiction compared to fiction: "I much prefer the fiction because the nonfiction takes so much work. There's a lot of research to do, and you have to get it right and and you have to be accurate. With fiction, I'm not known for my accuracy. I just make stuff up. Okay? And if they catch a mistake, I don't care. You fictionalize anything. But the nonfiction is uh and these cases are still active."
