We speak in (rich) monotones. Our poetry is haunted by the music it has left behind. Orpheus shrinks to a poet when he looks back, with the impatience of reason, on a music stronger than death.

Nothing is certain, ma petite, not even death." - Jean-Claude

If epic poetry is a definite species, the sagas do not fall within it.

The Archer novels are about various kinds of brokenness.

I wanted to write as well as I possibly could to deal with life-and-death problems in contemporary society. And the form of Wilkie Collins and Graham Greene, of Hammett and Chandler, seemed to offer me all the rope I would ever need.
