If I Can Tell You The Story

The Bigger The Issue, The Smaller You Write.

The Bigger The Issue, The Smaller You Write. Remember That. You Don't Write About The Horrors Of War. No. You Write About A Kid's Burnt Socks Lying On The Road. You Pick The Smallest Manageable Part Of The Big Thing, And You Work Off The Resonance.

And What Is The Religion Of Many Persons But A Kind Of Demonism That Delights In Human Sacrifices And Causes Them To Look With Horror On The Greatest Part Of Mankind? Plutarch, It Is Well Known, Has Observed Very Justly That It Is Better Not To Believe In A God Than To Believe Him To Be A Capricious And Malevolent Being.

I Don't Write Police Stories, Per Se, But I Usually Write About Areas That Are Very Panoramic, Like Harlem, Or The Lower East Side, Or A Small Urban City Like Jersey City.

The More I Hung Out With Detective Squads, The More There Was Always One Guy Or Two Guys Or A Woman Who Had A Case That They Were The Primary On Years Ago, It Was Never Solved, And They Take That Case Into Their Retirements.
