“In suspense novels even subplots about relationships have to have conflict.”

“Of course, all writers draw upon their personal experiences in describing day-to-day life and human relationships, but I tend to keep my own experiences largely separate from my stories.”

“I spend eight months outlining and researching the novel before I begin to write a single word of the prose.”

“'The Pushcart War' is presented as a history of a conflict that has not yet taken place; in each edition of the book, the date on which the hostilities commenced is nudged forward.”

“Like all Israelis, I yearn for peace. I see the utmost importance in taking all possible steps that will lead to a solution of the conflict with the Palestinians.”

“A detective story is just the premise for conflict, as a Western is.”
