When local author and screenwriter Tom Perrotta wrote “The Leftovers,” which became a hit TV series, he created a strange new world, where some of the population vanished and no one knows why.
In his latest novel, “Mrs. Fletcher,” Perrotta moves into new territory. His main character, a middle-aged, divorced mother finds herself in an empty nest when she drops her hungover son off at college. But her life becomes far from empty when she finds the online world of pornography and she likes what she sees.
Tom Perotta joins Jim Braude to discuss what led him into the world of online sexual content.
