  • What if millions of people around the world vanished -- suddenly, for no apparent reason -- in an event like the rapture foretold in Christian prophecy? That's the premise of a new HBO series based on Tom Perrotta's much-admired novel, The Leftovers. Perrotta joins Jian to talk about the series, his collaboration with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, and about creating meaning out of mass tragedy.

    It's a really terrific show, definitely one of the best this year, and it's great to hear the creator discuss it properly. Fantastic interview.

    Tom, sorry that I’m so late to the game, just finished watching The Leftovers on HBO, and yes, your book is now on my To Read list! Thanks for a wonderful, thoughtful conversation with Jian!

    I read the Book, but I have never seen the Show. I don't get HBO anymore so I was not able to see all the Episodes. I think I did see the 1st Episode Free on Line. Maybe it will be shown on Broadcast TV one day and I will be able to see it then. Does anyone have any idea how I could watch all the Episodes for Free either on Line or on Standard Cable
    The book was pretty good, although I liked his book- "Little Children" better. I also read his short story collection- Bad Haircut which was pretty good also. He writes about Suburbia and Modern America

      Thanks MultKarola24. You Might be able to get The Leftover- teh Book from Your Local LIbrary.. I really liked his book and the Movie- "LIttle Children". I also read his Short Story Collection- "Bad Haircut which was OKay. "Election" which is another Tom Perotta book which was made into a Movie- I have not seen the Movie or Read the Book yet, but I may do both one day.
