I have never been able to read Agatha Christie - the pleasure is purely in the puzzle, and the reader is toyed with by someone who didn't decide herself who the killer was until the end of the writing.I have never been able to read Agatha Christie - the pleasure is purely in the puzzle, and the reader is toyed with by someone who didn't decide herself who the killer was until the end of the writing.0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 3KB Visualizações 0 Anterior

Why do we take pleasure in gruesome death, neatly packaged as a puzzle to which we may find a satisfactory solution through clues - or if we are not clever enough, have it revealed by the all-powerful tale-teller at the end of the book? It is something to do with being reduced to, and comforted by, playing by the rules.Why do we take pleasure in gruesome death, neatly packaged as a puzzle to which we may find a satisfactory solution through clues - or if we are not clever enough, have it revealed by the all-powerful tale-teller at the end of the book?

America is full of readers of all different sorts who love books in many different ways, and I keep meeting them.

I like to write about painting because I think visually. I see my writing as blocks of color before it forms itself. I think I also care about painting because I'm not musical. Painting to me is not a metaphor for writing, but something people do that can never be reduced to words.I like to write about painting because I think visually.

I am suspicious of writers who go looking for issues to address. Writers are neither preachers nor journalists. Journalists know much more than most writers about what's going on in the world. And if you want to change things, you do journalism.I am suspicious of writers who go looking for issues to address. Writers are neither preachers nor journalists.

I suppose it's because I grew up on a love of history, philosophy, science and religion, but not to think too much about yourself.I sort of mind living in a time when most of the literature is terribly personal.

You learn a lot about love before you ever get there. You learn at least as much about love from books as you do from watching your parents.You learn a lot about love before you ever get there.
