patience reading character
Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience, hard work, chastity, and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.
important stories awareness
I do have to earn a living, so I'm conscious of probable reactions from readers, but the most important one is still the awareness that if I'm not enjoying a story, the reader won't either.
dry seasons
I don't have dry seasons, because I don't allow them.
book thinking people
I don't think the problem is that people don't read enough mystery books, but that people don't read.
book interesting long
Tod Goldberg has long been one of the most interesting writers around, and Gangsterland is his biggest and best book so far.
couple vacation shoes
There is no place so benighted and godforsaken that some moron won't go there on vacation. People could be living in an open sewer and swallowing dirt to stop the hunger, and there'd be a couple from Larchmont wearing comfortable shoes there to take pictures of them.
