Matthew Quirk, author of The Night Agent, and Shawn Ryan, creator and showrunner of the Netflix series based on the book, discuss the process of translating intelligence work and national security issues to the page and the small screen. From the challenges of balancing gripping narrative with technical accuracy, to the excitement of seeing written text come alive, Mark Arsenault, Boston Globe reporter and author, moderates a wide-ranging discussion.
