Sam Blake steps inside a mother’s worst nightmare to find out what drives and inspires these three very different authors.Sam Blake is the No 1 bestsell...
I liked the way he said that as fast as he writes about the current political situation the more events get increasingly uncontrolled. It reminded me of a line from the drama "A Very Peculiar Practice" where the creative writer at the university bemoans how the actual people on campus outweird anything he tries to write.
Fans of Charlie Muffin will take naturally to this. Unlike Brian Fremantle, though, Mick Herron is not (apparently) an ex-spook.
Archetypes anyone? They are part of the deep, unspoken power of these novels. Lady Di [Taverner] is the flip-side of the original Lady Di. The former is calculating, cold-blooded and unscrupulous, where the former was spontaneous, sensitive and vulnerable. Lamb, on the other hand, is a part of ourselves we are longing to let loose on the world: apparently chaotic, blind, unthinking and invulnerable, he's our Dyonisian side, as is Shirley (as she is in the books, but not the show, unfortunately). We are sandwiched between our Di(e) and Dander sides, colliding and just longing to emerge...with Lamb in the middle, as perhaps what we could and should be, but they missed that mysteriously in the series. These characters give vent to it for all of us.
Lovely interview! Ann Cleeves is such a terrific writer and seeing her here as a real person that she is makes me love her even more. Many thanks!
"Stop staring at me!" he stared at him harder
Disappointing. You should never meet your heroes or in this case, watch them.
It is a very harsh comment. I've found Mick Herron's interviews fairly interesting. The adaptation of the Slough House series is bloody good to say the least, and as for meeting your heroes, here we go: Jeremy Irons: my chancellor at University, one of the loveliest people I've ever met. Will Todd: fascinating composer and interesting individual. Jo Callaghan: lovely lady and fascinating author. We can't tar all authors/heroes with the same brush. I appreciate what you're saying, but blanket statements only cause problems rather than address them.
In principle, I fully agree, but here...well I cannot get enough. Too bad they sacrificed Shiley Dander, though. In the books, she's an uproarious treat, and a foil to Lamb...at the other extreme from Lady Di(e). I guess Will Smith just had a blind spot to all that. Too bad. Too late now to fix it. What they will try do with her fiasco later on, I hate to guess.
Steve Cavanaugh is an incredible writer. It's great to hear him talk through how he came up with his ideas.
Wonderfully relaxed interview.... and a fabulous last question and answer.
