What else was going on in British crime fiction at the time? What did you set out to do differently? Other than Anthony Powell, what writers haunted your imagination? -INTERVIEW: Interview with the master, Part II: Bill James on dialogue, gleeful savagery, and crime fiction vs. detective fiction (Peter Rozovsky , 6/29/09, Detectives Beyond Borders) Q: One distinctive feature of your dialogue is the elliptical cross-talk mainly between Harpur and Iles, but also between Harpur and other characters. They talk around each other, answering questions the other did not ask, ignoring ones that are asked. Talk about this technique, your models (if any) for it, and what it adds to the characters and the books. -INTERVIEW: An Interview with Bill James (Anthony Brockway, November 2004) -INTERVIEW: with Bill James (Art of Detection) -LIST: The 50 Greatest Crime Writers (Times of London, 4/18/08) -PROFILE: Bill James Crime Novelist Extraordinaire (The Alex Grant Column, August 2002, HackWriters) -REVIEW: of In Good Hands by Bill James (Tangled Web) -REVIEW: of Come Clean by Bill James (Marilyn Stasio, NY Times Book Review) -REVIEW: of Lovely Mover by Bill James (Lynda Ross, Tangled Web) -REVIEW: of Eton Crop by Bill James (Marilyn Stasio, NY Times Book Review) -REVIEW: of Panicking Ralph by Bill James (Marilyn Stasio, NY Times Book Review) -REVIEW: of Kill Me by Bill James (Peter Guttridge, The Observer) -REVIEW: of Girls by Bill James (Glenn Harper, International Noir Fiction) -REVIEW: of Girls (Heather, Errant Dreams) -REVIEW: of The Girl With the Long Back by Bill James (John A.
