In March 2016 Zusak talked about his then unfinished novel "Bridge of Clay." He stated that the book was 90% finished but that, "... I’m a completely different person than the person who wrote "The Book Thief". And this is also the scary thing—I’m a different person to the one who started "Bridge of Clay" eight, nine years ago ... I’ve got to get it done this year, or else I’ll probably finally have to set it aside."
