Greg Iles Zitate

My ancestors fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War; I was raised in Natchez, Miss.; I performed in the Confederate Pageant for a decade; I dug ditches and loaded trucks with black men who taught me more than any book ever could; and I graduated from Ole Miss. Anyone who survived that is a de facto expert on the South.

Greg Iles

Deutsche Übersetzung

Meine Vorfahren haben während des Bürgerkriegs für die Konföderation gekämpft. Ich bin in Natchez, Miss, aufgewachsen; Ich habe ein Jahrzehnt lang im Konföderierten Festzug gespielt; Ich grub Gruben aus und lud Lastwagen mit schwarzen Männern, die mich mehr lehrten, als jedes Buch jemals konnte; und ich absolvierte Ole Miss. Wer überlebt hat, ist ein De-facto-Experte für den Süden.

Being a son of the South puts you in a different position when it comes to the Confederate flag. It means something entirely different to the people who have ancestors who fought in the Civil War on the south side of the Mason-Dixon line.

My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That's more a function of my age than anything else though - back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.

Englisches Zitat von Jack Henry Abbott als Bild

Imagine a thousand more such daily intrusions in your life, every hour and minute of every day, and you can grasp the source of this paranoia, this anger that could consume me at any moment if I lost control.

Jack Henry Abbott

Many aspects of the writing life have changed since I published my first book, in the 1960s. It is more corporate, more driven by profits and marketing, and generally less congenial - but my day is the same: get out of bed, procrastinate, sit down at my desk, try to write something.
