Darwin8u asked Olen Steinhauer:

Who are your literary heroes? Who do you read for inspiration? aspiration? relaxation?

Olen Steinhauer I became a writer because I read James Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" when I was 19, and during my 20s I wanted to be just like him. Then I read Raymond Chandler and started writing crime fiction. Then I read John le Carre and turned to espionage...and have never looked back.

Lately I've been getting quite into David Mitchell.
