New York City has fantastic restaurants and, unlike London, a lot of the best restaurants are relatively cheap.
From Tibor Fischer
I don't take much notice of reviews now - obviously you'd like to have straight worship but you're never going to get that.
Most books reviews aren't very well-written. They tend to be more about the reviewer than the book.
I never could get a proper job.
It's what the reader thinks that counts.
As an author, I realise, you're on your own. You have to do everything you can to help The Book. If I make sure people know it's out there, they can make up their own minds whether they want to read it.
Ultimately, it's about the quality of the writing whatever style you are writing.
I went to a British Council event a while back and there were lots of German professors of literature. About half of them were convinced I had a German sense of humour and the other half were sure it was British. They are probably still arguing about it now.
One of the reasons why I don't write the same kind of book again and again is that I get bored very easily, so I like to make things interesting for myself.
I'm not the most prolific writer in the world, and, sadly, writing a novel involves a lot of effort.
