I read very little contemporary anything.
Yes, I'm a reasonably good self-taught historian of the 1930s and '40s. I've never wanted to write about another time or place. I wouldn't know what to say about contemporary society.
I read very little contemporary anything... I don't think I read what other people read, but then why would I, considering what I do?
I spend my life writing fiction, so reading fiction isn't much of an escape. That's not always true, but I don't read much contemporary fiction.
With contemporary music, you automatically get connected. It connects you to the emotion of the characters.
For me, personally, the most interesting music comes from the popular sector - from film and pop music - since contemporary classical music got stuck and went into directions where it lost a lot of the public by over-intellectualizing.
I love taking prints, embroidery, appliques - precious things that seem to be from another time - and using them to create a contemporary, new story.
The future is not so interesting for me because the future doesn't exist. I am really focused on the contemporary.
Westminster is a piece of this city's energy, something the contemporary world has forgotten.
I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
