Don Winslow Challenges . . .

"What if each of us went home and wrote the book we're afraid to write?"

"What are we afraid of?"

"Would that be fun or what?"

--Literary/existential questions from Don Winslow, author of "Savages," "The Power of the Dog," and so many other fine novels, to the audience at Book Passage bookstore in Corte Madera, CA, last night.

(Most of us in the audience are participating in the Book Passage Mystery Writers Conference.)
