Jess Walter is So Far Gone

from The Book Case Hosted by ABC News | Charlie Gibson, Kate Gibson

Jess Walter has written a book that is funny, compulsively readable, and complex. In So Far Gone, he reminds us, in a world that sometimes seems to have gone crazy, you escape society at your own peril. Can you escape the world into isolation or is life only meaningful when you live it for and with others? We ask the very talented Jess Walter that very question.
