"But here’s the funny part. Becoming a Christian actually made me less likely to use Christian symbolism and structures in my work because now I see Christ’s presence underlying all of life—I don’t have to place Him there artistically. Baptism made me more of a realist, more willing to let each character go his own way and tell his own story as he would. I’m a novelist, remember, not a preacher. I trust reality to express Christ’s presence, because I think that’s what it actually does."
Interview: Hard-boiled mystery writer Andrew Klavan on becoming a Christian and “seeing the world more clearly as it is”
Thanks for the link. Great interview.
Thanks so much for posting this, Mick. The interview is awesome. (And I finally renewed my lapsed World mag subscription!)
I wish more Christian authors thought along Klavan’s lines.
Yes, that’s an excellent interview. Lots to think about there. Thanks!

Sorry, I’m laughing. Wonder if Janet looked to see who you were before she requested?
