I'm The Jerry Lewis Of Crime Fiction.

Genius Is A Curse. That's How I Look At It. Some Think That The Brilliant Comprehend The Universe In A Way The Rest Of Us Can't. They See The World How It Truly Is—and That Reality Is So Horrible The Lose Their Minds. Clarity Leads To Insanity.

I'm The Jerry Lewis Of Crime Fiction.

You Want This So Badly—this Second Chance, This Chance At Real Redemption—that You Can’t See The Truth.

I Wrote Seven Myron Bolitar Novels In A Row, And I Never Want To Write A Myron Book Where He Just Solves A Crime. Every One Of Them I Want To Be Personal, And I Want Him To Grow And Change. The Problem With That Is, It Makes The Series Limited, You Can't Write A Series Where A Guy Is Always Going Through Some Kind Of Crisis.

Sometimes Even When The Book Is Over I Dont Know Whos Good And Whos Bad. Its Really More Interesting, I Think, To Write About Gray Characters Than It Is To Write About Black And White.
