Intention of mine is very organic that is what it is. But it the idea of a process is a horrible face. It really is. It is very difficult and not productive i am called the dark country of new ideas innocents so true. And that is as good a label as anything the underlying idea has to have certain qualities you cannot fecit so it has to be interesting to meet and has a very rich archival base to find all the bits and pieces of the readers imagination to have a builtin organic in gin that something inherently powers along with the lusitania that under threat of the climaxes in a seventh is a natural a narrative see you can tell the story as a nonfiction work with the beginning and middle and the and not the case of the lusitania but looking at barriers to entry. I dont look for them but i like them because i am pretty confident nobody else will do that book. I hate competition. That came up as the organic process and to meet it is very much like looking for a spouse. Whitman know this you have to kiss a lot of frogs before one case is you back in the not treat the way. You know, what i mean. Un said dart country right now. Thank you. Yes. [laughter] i cannot help as the german flight that went down it is so sad yet with the critical i with these practices just from your perspective how does that impact the newspaper this week . That is an interesting question. Is how you come to the shocking story. But i am hard to quantify exactly. But i can tell you thats imf deeply paranoid flier. I hate to fly. Even on the regional jet. The story of that flight has haunted me this week having to fly from place to pit place to place provide a lot to talk about it. [laughter] it is such a horrible story. It got worse today with said news that his shrink sent him a letter saying he was not fit to work. Then he gets on the plane. Host day using pure paranoia about flying is about control . [laughter] guest is this a shrink session . [laughter] is this dr. Phil . Host is. Guest somebody come down. I am 6foot 2 inches and have claustrophobia if you put me in the seat meant for my dog it is hard. [laughter] host last question you have a distinctive writing style your books are very fast to read i cannot end of paragraph without starting the next one. Pulling on that red thread. [laughter] [applause] how did you learn to write where did you get your style . I dont know. Date you so much for saying that that they read it quickly with foreshadowing because that is what i work very hard at to structure my book while i dont fictionalizes i use those techniques of foreshadowing foreshadowing, withholding to keep the reader interested and the story moving along. But if i had to attribute obviously it is evolutionary but one of the most powerful influences and the people i have read those i consider it influences tend to emphasize clean and spare prose. I know hemingway has lost cachet because he is a jerk. [laughter] although big night in paris was lovely. [laughter] because to have short stories with a collection are good examples in the art of not saying. One of the best short stories is called hills like white elephants. But if you read it, by the time you were done he never says it directly you just come to it and it is genius. Chandler steinbeck fitzger ald, and these are my influences. In a practical level i worked at the wall street journal i got extremely lucky at a time when feature writing was emphasized and they wanted people who could write not into new business. So i loved the stories it was an exercise all the time to try to get as much into a compelling way to pare it down tuesday absolute minimum of what you need to get the story across. But otherwise but thank you for commenting on that. Thank you very much for coming. [applause] key will be signing books in the lobby
