Author

I often lose myself in the Sudoku-like challenges of making a book work.

I still haven't quite got used to eating live fish.

I'm a novelist, that's how I make my livelihood, and I concentrate on the novels.

I think we think in terms of stories.

I think the story is the most ancient form of human entertainment.

I can write pretty much anywhere.

Writers are so used to books being optioned and then the movie never happens.

When I think about it, I'm happily bewildered that people will preorder my books They'll preorder me. What a lucky guy!

I'm from a time and place where bigheadedness was a really savage crime, and you'd get cut down for it by your peers and parents.

I'm not a great deep political thinker.

David Mitchell
