children believe despair
I believe I could commit a crime. We all can. It depends on which situations we find ourselves in. In despair, I would steal food if my children were hungry.
plot crime
I'm not a good crime writer. I'm not good with plots... so I have to do something else.
chance given mankind
Mankind can be very magnanimous, given the chance.
writing cities community
I use the setting of a small rural Norwegian community - the kind of place that I know so intimately. I could never write a novel set in a big city, because, frankly, I don't know what it would be like.
