I think people who don't have to work for a living, who never had to work for a living, are unable to really understand what most of human life is about. --Sara Paretsky in an interview

I know this is a popular viewpoint, but I'm kind of shocked to hear a fiction writer state it. It's the job of fiction writers to be able to understand things they don't personally experience.

I think my losing interest in the Warshavsky novels (something like four behind, with no intent to catch up) has to do with Paretsky becoming more of a writer who thinks like that.

For me it had more to do with disliking her writing style. But yeah.
