Kriminalromane / Crime Fiction Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Kriminalromane / Crime Fiction:

When I set out to write crime fiction, I didn't think to myself, 'I'm going to model myself on Agatha Christie' or 'I am going to be a crime writer in the Christie tradition'. Sophie Hannah

There is a very conservative element of crime writers that don't recognise what I do is crime fiction.

John Connolly

I usually get up not before 9. I have a huge library - I'm a big fan of Scandinavian crime fiction - so I'll usually take a book and go off to one of my favorite bistros for a cappuccino or espresso or maybe I'll have some lovely smoked salmon for breakfast.

Anthony Geary

The danger that may really threaten (crime fiction) is that soon there will be more writers than readers.

Jacques Barzun

Traditionally in crime fiction, women exist as a bedroom convenience or to screw up in order that the plot may progress. I wanted no part of that.

Ann Maxwell

One of the surprising things I hadn't expected when I decided to write crime fiction is how much you are expected to be out in front of the public. Some writers aren't comfortable with that. I don't have a problem with that.

Kathy Reichs

Writing books that people want to read is helpful - my most successful book is my only police procedural, a very popular subgenre of the very popular crime fiction genre.

Allan Guthrie

Crime fiction makes money. It may be harder for writers to get published, but crime is doing better than most of what we like to call CanLit. It's elementary, plot-driven, character-rich story-telling at its best.

Linwood Barclay

I had done 12 little romance books, and I decided I wanted to move into crime fiction.

Janet Evanovich

I get very tired of violence in crime fiction. Maybe it is what life is like, but I don't want to do it in my books.

Ruth Rendell

When I set out to write crime fiction, I didn't think to myself, 'I'm going to model myself on Agatha Christie' or 'I am going to be a crime writer in the Christie tradition'.

Sophie Hannah

I'm not much of a plotter. I start off with an inciting incident, and in classic crime fiction what happens is that all the action flows from that incident. It's very comfy when it all ties up and feels like a complete universe, but my stuff doesn't always work that way.

Denise Mina

Most crime fiction plots are not ambitious enough for me. I want something really labyrinthine with clues and puzzles that will reward careful attention.

Sophie Hannah

Crime fiction is the fiction of social history. Societies get the crimes they deserve.

Denise Mina

I've always been drawn to the extremes of human behavior, and crime fiction is a great way to explore the lives and stories of fascinating people.

Nick Petrie

I not only read Raymond Chandler but read all the crime fiction classics. I was hooked.

Michael Connelly

The pace of Swedish crime fiction is slower - Stieg Larsson's the exception. And I think we use the environment more.

Camilla Lackberg

Crafting a piece of gripping, narrative true crime that engages the world is not that different from crafting a piece of crime fiction.

Karin Slaughter

I've read crime fiction all my life. A thing that's bothered me about crime fiction is that it's generally about one or two people, but there's not much about society. I want to get away from that particular pattern: a lead, a supporting role and backdrop characters.

Stieg Larsson

So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can't read that.

Donna Leon

When I was a teenager, I was a voracious reader of crime fiction, but only contemporary books. I was not interested in reading 'The Glass Key' or 'The Maltese Falcon' - stuff that was 40 or 50 years old.

Michael Connelly

Ian Rankin's Rebus is the king of modern British crime fiction. He is dour, determined, and constantly falls foul of his seniors. For all this, we root for him. He is eminently loveable, a quixotic hero moving through the darker half of a Jekyll and Hyde Edinburgh.

Mark Billingham

For a long time, I missed being in the courtroom every day. I missed trial work. It was so much a part of my life. It was what I did and who I was. But over the years, I did find the opportunity to realize my childhood dream of writing crime fiction.

Marcia Clark
