Van Jensen - Booked With Pap #4
Van Jensen joins me to discuss Godfall, a science fiction murder mystery built around a three-mile-long alien corpse that transforms a small Nebraska town. We explore the novel’s small-town perspective, its hopeful characters, the cultural divide between rural and urban America, and the television adaptation in development. Van also shares how crime reporting and writing comics for DC shaped his storytelling, why visual thinking is central to his process, and what years of daily writing taught him about craft, criticism, inspiration, and writer’s block.
