John McFetridge

Declan Burke interviewed John McFetridge in December 2007. Their opening exchanges:
What crime novel would you most like to have written?

SWAG – or really anything by Elmore Leonard.

Who do you read for guilty pleasures?

I read all over the place and I don't feel guilty about any of it.

Most satisfying writing moment?

When the ending to DIRTY SWEET presented itself. Up till that moment I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Now it’s closer to just no idea.
Read the full Q & A.

John McFetridge's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is due in the U.S. in July 2008 from Harcourt.
