There is so much you have to fit into eighty or ninety-thousand words\u2014not just creating a puzzle, but an atmosphere, a setting, characters \u2026 Then when the first one worked, I continued, and I came to believe that it is perfectly possible to remain within the constraints and conventions of the genre and be a serious writer, saying something true about men and women and their relationships and the society in which they live.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/6939\/walter-mosley-the-art-of-fiction-no-234-walter-mosley\" target=\"_blank\"><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Walter Mosley, The Art of Fiction No. 234<\/span><br \/>\n<\/b><\/a><\/span><em><span class=\"s2\">Issue no. 220 (Spring 2017)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">I write about the world I live in.

Galveston on New Year\u2019s Eve\u2014in the morning, they have to count the bodies, because people get killed, at least they did back then. And I was scared. We\u2019re sleeping on the floor in some room and I couldn\u2019t go to sleep, and my father said, Henrietta, come in here. Walter\u2019s scared. And she says, Baby, you scared? You think something\u2019s going to happen to you? And I said, Yeah. It\u2019s happening to other people out there. She said, Baby, I got a .45 in this here purse. Anybody coming after you got to come through me, and ain\u2019t nobody coming through me. I fell asleep, just like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/5020\/georges-simenon-the-art-of-fiction-no-9-georges-simenon\" target=\"_blank\"><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Georges Simenon, The Art of Fiction No. 9<\/span><br \/>\n<\/b><\/a><\/span><em><span class=\"s2\">Issue no. 9 (Summer 1955)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">On the eve of the first day I know what will happen in the first chapter.
