Robert Greer
At Crime Always Pays, Declan Burke interrogated Robert Greer, author of the recently released Blackbird, Farewell. Part of the Q & A:
What crime novel would you most like to have written?Read the complete interview.
THE MALTESE FALCON. Its multi-layered entanglements, its expressed unseediness, its use of the classic femme fatale andDashiell Hammett’s use of minor characters in ensemble form to produce effective darkness and greed which make this the very best of noir fiction in my judgment.
What fictional character would you most like to have been?
Since I am a westerner and own a working cattle ranch, I suspect that the character I most would have wanted to be would have been Shane, the ultimate dark cowboy hero.
