If You're A Writer, You're

My Novels Are About The European Reality, Not About Chases. You Want Chases, Get Somebody Else's Books.

I Expect That My Readers Have Been To Europe, I Expect Them To Have Some Feeling For A Foreign Language, I Expect Them To Have Read Books - There Are A Lot Of People Like That! That's My Audience.

I Don't Just Want My Books To Be About The '30s And '40s. I Want Them To Read As If They Had Been Written Then. I Think Of Them As '40s Novels, Written In The Conservative Narrative Past.
