The Wilding by Benjamin Percy

Iowa State creative writing professor Benjamin Percy joins Talk of Iowa host Charity Nebbe to talk about his new novel, The Wilding. The novel, a dark tale of man versus nature, is set in the Oregon wilderness as three generations of men struggle with the elements in addition to their own emotions. This hour, we'll discuss his writing, the natural world and the inspiration to be drawn from it. We'll also talk about his experiences in Hollywood - one of his short stories is being made into a movie.
