More From Jo Nesbo

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.
Love Life Truth
Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. one starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. i read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy i used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.
Book Reading Writing
Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!

All societies have these cases. there are many, many crime cases that remain famous from the times of the romans. the bible is full of crime stories. you can almost flip to a page. joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers is a crime story. the bible is full of crime stories.
Brother Stories Slavery
When i get about five readers i can rub together in one genre, i leave that genre and go somewhere else. and this is due to a vow that i made myself when i started writing - that if i had any success at all, i would not be bound to one form of writing. that i would write what moves me. the only way i can see me surviving and doing more than one book is to present the readers with a dan simmons novel, with whatever tropes and protocols from whatever genre i want to borrow them. if that builds a dan simmons readership, well then, okay. otherwise, forget about it. i'd rather drive a truck.
Moving Book Writing
There are many other writers whose work i admire tremendously, but none whose work struck me at just the right young age. jack vance taught me that speculative fiction, science fiction, could be wonderfully and liberatingly stylistic. it didn't have to be pulp stuff. he really changed my writing and my view of science fiction, so if nothing else, my little homage to him in the novelette i wrote for that anthology is my thank-you to him. he helped me see that any genre can have excellent writing in it.

Graphic novels are not traditional literature, but that does not mean they are second-rate. images are a way of writing. when you have the talent to be able to write and to draw, it seems a shame to choose one. i think it's better to do both.
