Alan Furst Wrote Quotations

I basically wrote five books with 'Night Soldiers,' called them novellas, and came in with a 600-page manuscript.

I wrote out little mysteries in longhand, and my mother typed them out on an old Remington.

I wrote three mysteries and then a contemporary spy novel that was unbelievably derivative - completely based on 'The Conversation,' the movie with Gene Hackman. Amazingly, the character in the book looks exactly like... Gene Hackman.
