A Life Spent Considering My Dismal Future

From a 1987 interview with James Crumley:

“Sometimes I wish I was in the smaller paperback editions and more widely distributed in truck stops and supermarkets and 7-11s. I think that’s where my audience is … one of the things that has always encouraged me and made me feel good about the books that I write is that working-class people read them and are moved by them. My background is firmly rooted in the lower-middle classes, working classes, and I still remember what work was like, although I’m certainly glad I don’t have to do it anymore. I do have a great deal of respect for those people and when they like my books I’m particularly tickled.”

I’m a big fan of Crumley’s writing and recommend you read him if you haven’t already.
