Author Benjamin Wood discusses formative literary influences, citing John Steinbeck's "The Red Pony" for moving him to tears and Paul Auster's works for inspiring him to write fiction. Wood also recounts his frustration with John Fowles's "The Magus" — which he threw at the wall — and his rediscovery of Marilynne Robinson's "Gilead" after becoming a father.
