Text Quotes
Crime fiction makes money. It may be harder for writers to get published, but crime is doing better than most of what we like to call CanLit. It’s elementary, plot-driven, character-rich story-telling at its best (Crime Fiction Quotes)
The pace of Swedish crime fiction is slower - Stieg Larsson’s the exception. And I think we use the environment more (Crime Fiction Quotes)
Scandinavian crime fiction has become a great success all across the world and rightfully so. Sjowall and Wahloo ushered in a whole generation of Swedish crime writers, many of whom are now available in English (Crime Fiction Quotes)

The built-in form is a window frame. You can use this genre [crime fiction] to go where you want to go, and explore what you want to explore. In some ways it gives you a lot of freedom because you have a framework readers are looking for (Crime Fiction Quotes)
I respond very well to rules. If there are certain parameters it’s much easier to do something really good. Especially when readers know what those are. They know what to expect and then you have to wrong-foot them. That is the trick of crime fiction. And readers come to crime and graphic novels wanting to be entertained, or disgusted (Crime Fiction Quotes)
I’ve read crime fiction all my life. A thing that’s bothered me about crime fiction is that it’s generally about one or two people, but there’s not much about society. I want to get away from that particular pattern: a lead, a supporting role and backdrop characters (Crime Fiction Quotes)
A lot of crime fiction writing is also lazy. Personality is supposed to be shown by the protagonists taste in music, or were told that the hero looks like the young Cary Grant. Film is the medium these writers are looking for (Crime Fiction Quotes)
Reading Tomato Red-the first Daniel Woodrell novel I came upon-was a transformative experience. It expanded my sense of the possibilities not only of crime fiction, but of fiction itself-of language, of storytelling. Time and again, his work just dazzles and humbles me. God bless Busted Flush for these glorious reissues. It’s a service to readers everywhere, and a great gift (Crime Fiction Quotes)
The competition for the future of crime fiction is fierce, as it should be, but don’t take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He’s wily, talented and-rarest of the rare-a true original. He writes melancholy poetry that actually has melancholy poets wandering around, but don’t turn your backs on them, either. I am always eager to see what he’s going to do next (Crime Fiction Quotes)
With crime fiction, you have to write a half-dozen before they catch on (Crime Fiction Quotes)
The most popular American fiction seems to be about successful people who win, and good crime fiction typically does not explore that world. But honestly, if all crime fiction was quality fiction, it would be taken more seriously (Crime Fiction Quotes)
I’m the Jerry Lewis of crime fiction (Crime Fiction Quotes)
The crime fiction genre offers the writer infinite diversity of theme and treatment (Crime Fiction Quotes)
Crime fiction is the fiction of social history. Societies get the crimes they deserve (Crime Fiction Quotes)
When I was a teenager, I was a voracious reader of crime fiction, but only contemporary books (Crime Fiction Quotes)
Delaying and withholding tactics, red herrings, partial and doubtful outcomes are stock in trade for fiction writers, especially crime writers (Crime Fiction Quotes)
Crime fiction confirms our belief, despite some evidence to the contrary, that we live in a rational, comprehensible, and moral universe (Crime Fiction Quotes)
I’m sold as a literary writer in Holland; I’m sold as crime fiction in England. I think of it as just literature (Crime Fiction Quotes)
The danger that may really threaten (crime fiction) is that soon there will be more writers than readers (Crime Fiction Quotes)
Most crime fiction plots are not ambitious enough for me. I want something really labyrinthine with clues and puzzles that will reward careful attention (Crime Fiction Quotes)
One of the surprising things I hadn’t expected when I decided to write crime fiction is how much you are expected to be out in front of the public. Some writers aren’t comfortable with that. I don’t have a problem with that (Crime Fiction Quotes)
So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can’t read that (Crime Fiction Quotes)
The mainstream has lost its way. Crime fiction is an objective, realistic genre because it’s about the real world, real bodies really being killed by somebody. And this involves the investigator in trying to understand the society that the person lived in (Crime Fiction Quotes)
