Sallis said:
"I rarely have much idea where a book will go except in a
very general sense, and that's often more a feeling, a sense
of form, than anything else. With the Lew Griffin books, I
knew the arc of the story, and the final ending, about
halfway through. But the rest was improvised from day to day,
line to line. I find this to be the only way I can truly
enjoy writing: this poking about to see what's in
there."
