Raymond Chandler invented Google.

Good one Jimmy!

When I started out to write fiction I had the great disadvantage of having absolutely no talent for it. I couldn’t get the characters in and out of rooms.

INTERVIEW WITH IAN FLEMING 1958

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Thanks Jim. Really nice find. I have heard the interview with Fleming before... The wonderful thing that comes across from Fleming was what a modest, humble, gracious and insightful person - and intelligent interviewer - he was. He realised, for one thing, that he WAS interviewing CHANDLER!!!!!

But how many today, James, are like these...

Elmore Leonard comes to mind. He was a popular best-seller when he said the noob George V.Higgins taught him how to write.
