"Sometimes you can do all the right things and not succeed. And that's a hard lesson of reality."

Reality

"Well, I think storytellers have always found murder a fascinating device."

Murder

"Storytelling and elegant style don't always go hand in hand."

Style

"There's an expectation these days that novels - like any other consumer product - should be made on a production line, with one dropping from the conveyor belt every couple of years."

Expectation

"Actually, I enjoy the process of writing a big long novel."

Writing

"So I'm not a Southern writer in the commonly held sense of the term, like Faulkner or Eudora Welty, who took the South for their entire literary environment and subject matter."

Environment

"I believe, in a funny way, the job of the novelist is to be out there on the fringes and speaking for an experience that has not really been spoken for."

Experience

"To really be centered and to really work well and to think about the kinds of things that I need to think about, I need to spend large amounts of time alone."

Time

"I'm not sure whay I've been drawn to this subject, except that murder is a subject that has always drawn people for as long as people have been telling stories."

People

"The novel is about five students of classics who are studying with a classics professor, and they take the ideas of the things that they're learning from him a bit too seriously, with terrible consequences."
