I think it's especially appropriate in this age of ebooks, when it so easy - almost too easy, really - to revise previously published work.Al Leveronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875867178918970838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808904300163506499.post-49281449973941632202012-05-25T06:34:23.260-04:002012-05-25T06:34:23.260-04:00...show me a writer who revises his early work and...<i>...show me a writer who revises his early work and I’ll show you a person with too much time on his hands.

You said on your own blog a while back that the appeal of Robert Parker was that we like the way he sounds, and there is a similar appeal in your own work. It feels as comfortable as if you were sitting there and telling us the story, and I'm not sure that's something that can be taught. I think you either learn it on your own, as a writer, or you don't.<br />I'd say yourself and Joe Lansdale are the ones with the voice easiest on the ears for me.Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.com
