Description
"B eing a fiction writer is really like being an actor, because if you're going to write convincingly it has to sound right and play right. The only way that works is to emotionally and technically act out and see the scene you're in. There's no better job in the world, because when I sit down at that computer I'm the world's best forensics expert, if that's what I'm writing about that day. Or I'm some crazed psycho running down a dark alley. Or I'm a gorgeous woman looking to find a man that night. Whatever! But I'm all of those things, every day. How can you beat that?"
"Just what is it about Ridley Pearson that makes him the best damn thriller writer on the planet? We've celebrated the forensic detail, the taut plotting, the multidimensional characters, and the screw-tightening suspense, but lots of fiction writers do all that. Here's a theory: Pearson is a master at manipulating opposites. His stories are forever jumping from high concept to small scale, from positive to negative charges, manipulating our emotions and minds with their polar hip-hopping.... This bipolar narration works not only between scenes but almost simultaneously within the same scene. Take the interchanges between Boldt and Matthews – utterly professional one moment, erotically charged the next and with every moment holding the potential to become its opposite. That’s the key really: in a Pearson novel, there is no terra firma. He moves the ground from under his readers' feet more skillfully and more believably than any of his fellow writers. One of the reasons we like to read thrillers, after all, is that the terra in our own lives is altogether too firma. Pearson takes us to a very different place, but it is still a recognizably real place in which flesh-and-blood characters live lives that, at one pole at least, are quite like ours. But not for long."
