What We Humans Think We Know Is

My Influence Is Probably More From American Crime Writers Than Any Europeans. And I Hardly Read Any Scandinavian Crime Before I Started Writing Myself. I Wasn't A Great Crime Reader To Begin With.

I Don't Think I'll Ever Feel As Famous Or As Popular As I Felt When I Was A 17-year-old Soccer Player In Modle. Only About 20,000 People Live There And 12,000 Of Them Come To Every Game. Running Onto The Pitch Each Week Was Just The Most Fantastic Feeling. Nothing Can Beat That.

I Don't Have Any Writing Routine. Sometimes I Go To My Local Coffee Shop And I Write There For Some Hours. Apart From That, I Am Traveling Most Of The Time. I Write In Airports, Trains, Hotel Rooms... I Can Write Anywhere.

Let Me Say Here And Now That Faith Has Never Done Me Any Good, Only Doubt. So That Is What Has Become My Testament.

Ever Since The '70s, Maj Sjowall And Per Wahloo Were The Godfathers Of Scandinavian Crime. They Broke The Crime Novel In Scandinavia From The Kiosks And Into The Serious Bookstores.
