What i try to do is write a story about a detective rather than a detective story. keeping the reader fooled until the last, possible moment is a good trick and i usually try to play it, but i can't attach more than secondary importance to it. the puzzle isn't so interesting to me as the behavior of the detective attacking it.
Writing Play Interesting
I spent a lot of time with a real detective, a lady detective inspector who was the only female detective inspector in the whole of east london. she and i hung out a lot. she showed me what she did and i spent time with her. so, [she was] a lot of the inspiration for the way i dressed and sometimes the dialogue in those interview scenes where we're cross examining and questioning the youths and trying to get a confession out of them.

Historical Consciousness Form
It is easy to see, though it scarcely needs to be pointed out, since it is involved in the fact that reason is set aside, that faith is not a form of knowledge; for all knowledge is either a knowledge of the eternal, excluding the temporal and historical as indifferent, or it is pure historical knowledge. no knowledge can have for its object the absurdity that the eternal is the historical.
Faith Knowledge Historical
My first book was a historical novel. i started writing in 1974. in those days, historical novels meant ladies with swelling bosoms on the cover. basically, it meant historical romance. it was not respectable as a genre.
Book Writing Historical Novels
Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.
Art Mean Reflection

I wasn't always smart, i was actually very stupid in school [t]here was a boy who was very attractive who was even stupider than i was. and in order to ingratiate myself with this boy who was very beautiful, i began to do his homework for him – and that's how i became smart, i had to do all this work to just keep ahead of him a little bit, in order to help him. in a sense, all the rest of my life i've been trying to do intellectual things that would attract beautiful boys.
