To clarify my previous post, I didn't feel that the others' responses were less interesting than Grant's, but I did go to hear Grant speak and felt that the other three writers' responses were those that I've heard before from other writers, with little or no variation, especially Richard's response regarding Hollywod's treatment of Altered Carbon, which, I noted with interest, he attributed to James M. Cain. Other writers, including Gibson, have attributed that quote ("Hollywood's done nothing to my books - they're all there on the shelf.") to Raymond Chandler.
From reading and listening to other writers, it seems that the process of writing a novel is much the same, but Grant's fields of work, working methods and output have clearly given him a different experience, which, combined with the way in which he portrays both comics and himself remains the most significant reason I continue to go and hear him speak. |
