Older tells EW in an exclusive interview that he wrote the book years ago.
Thats something we say a lot.
Any story is always anything but flat; there are so many angles and sides and dimensions.
Macmillan
Theres vulnerability and squishiness and flexibility and everything else.
Drawing inspiration from greats likeGabriel Garcia Marquezand Isabel Allende, Older also looked to his own family background.
Those moments were a lot of the inspiration.
