Did you ever discard interesting topics for lack of written memories or personal accounts?
Erik Larson
Yes, but only in the exploratory phase. Never after I finally committed to a project.

Erik Larson:
I see you referred to your writing as "so-called narrative history." I think there are literary fiction elements to your stories, as well. Do you think your writing bridges both genres? What are your thoughts on the whole genre labeling of books? And what exactly is narrative historical fiction as opposed to historical fiction?

Erik Larson:
What always strikes me about your books is that I find myself not only do I get hooked by a good story (which yours are) but I get the feeling of how history looked from the street. Its a rear quality in literature. Is this researched or made up? keep up the good work I'm about to start your new book. Can't wait to get lost. Cheers. Ken
