Pachelbel
Pachelbel asked Bryan Camp:

Where did you get the idea for Jude?

Bryan Camp Mostly, I'd heard the truism that most first novels were thinly-veiled autobiographies, and so I did my best to make Jude the opposite of me: no connection to his father, effortlessly charismatic, chronically lucky, thoughtlessly cruel, etc.

His ability to find lost things just sort of grew from what it felt like in the Gulf South after Katrina.
