We suppress exact among them so that actually happened in what events in. What i moved to the border blown you. All Novel Writing is politics its a huge luxury to be able to write about you know the worst people in history. And go learn people like that they are. Its lighter its like dracula i mean the these are wonderfully villainous or for people to write about that are beyond Invention Novelis could invent a character as wicked as hydra. This is general pace was one of the main architects of the holocaust and Cursed First Novel March Violets going to me titus who sends him to the Concentration Camp as an undercover agent its a painful experience for bernie. In later books had this evolves into his make this. Race was fully capable of being a loving father and a Brutal Police functionary the checks called him the blonde beast. How did it was assassinated in prague in the one Nine Hundred Forty Two incurs Novel Prague Fertile how trace has bernies lover checks by brutally tortured in his presence. So that scene came around because i just wanted to remind people of what these who these people were and what they did to people and what they were capable of doing to people you know. But equally the method that they used to interrogate their goal is what the cia are doing today so thats why its there you know the nazis invented waterboarding or probably they didnt but they were certainly very effective at doing it so you know you with all the stories you want there to be a kind of. Something that resonates in the modern world. In january Nine Hundred Forty Two presided over the vines a conference on the Final Solution to the jewish question. There it was decided that most of the jews in german occupied europe would be deported to poland and made it kirk has come here to do research for peace of the. Worst of the worst. And they see it as. The swearing we see youve done after the war was declared he did a lot of time in the in the lift up he became first bill came a recount. In the buff and went on bombing in. Norway. And he really enjoyed he just enjoyed sitting back machine gunning. Another of his nazi era crime novels focuses on a Fictional Police conference that was held five months after the conference. Is dead by then and as she says the conference which is also held at the vans a villa the all. The same time the International Crime of the century was being committed by many of the people sitting in the room and it just struck me as she always love these kind of ironies of history i love the sort of the bits Between The Lines of history that we dont know about i mean it was trite most people is absurd that they would they would do that but thats exactly what they did so you know here where were standing now there would have been in july Nine Hundred Two there with the being policeman from all over youre standing here having a cigarette i mean cup of coffee and then going in there and having lectures from various policeman and one of whom in the novel will be pentagon for. So burney us turn up and make a speech in there so thats really what i was after im. Standing in that Window Thinking thats where he stands thats where the speech occurs and then they come out here and they have a cup of coffee hes introduced to somebody who will be pivotal in the rest of the story whos a swiss policeman. In One Thousand Nine Hundred Forty the nazis occupied paris. Minorities main character is the head of the french kostopoulos. A highly decorated Police Officer and he controls all of paris together with former gangster all the love for. Both our collaborators and criminals those who oppose them full out of windows will simply vanish for ever hell need to vote against that before were here at Ninety Three Rule Lower East on that chris was an infamous address during the occupation. It was the headquarters of the french to stop oh yes the people who think that your division. When the lot of money is building where bonnie and la phone had their offices was called lock erlang or the cockpit minimill. You see i see this building witnessed many dreadful crimes who you see many people were tortured here has not been thought the french to stop a was a key element of the Collaboration Structure and next day it could be in the thick head dont mean huge because i. Feel neat because of this it says you need. To consider the plasticity as uni just a few steps away but as they sit there. Day the frame i guess topple prison was located here at number three. On their prisoners were kept here between interrogations they would do that before they were turned over to the germans ive owned and even its at their grammar. About twenty meters away from the Gestapo Prison at number eleven is the alltel dunno why you during the war it housed one of the liveliest literary and artistic cellphones in paris. He there were two big cell phones one was run by florence the other by madame de no i. Met them to know i. Wasnt the buildings are close together was some of the every time i come here im struck by the contrast and it reminds me that people must have known what was happening here again your plea they could not have ignored it and this is where it all took place memo. This year they extravagant parties and their that doc torture and death spots memo and the buildings were right next to each other. Maybe the french upper class completely accepted the s. S. And they were mocked they dont mean the s. S. Men were more popular because their uniforms were much more attractive uniform that black is a lot more becoming than field gray. A pretty young good to have to go through. The chief collaborators came to an inglorious and the germans abandoned them when they pulled out of paris. When la phone was taken prisoner after the liberation he said i spent four years surrounded by orchids tell you send bentleys it was worth it for a the phone was the rest of the day paris was liberated and was executed immediately. His stance resistance means admitting that terrible things happened. If you dont talk about them you allow them to happen again. I hope you will. As this is instituted which if you are the first sentences are really important just like the last one as you appear to not just in the novel as a whole but in each chapter to get seegers thats the sentence ive got now is ok its ok it definitely gets you into the scene but how im going to stop the book because well i can read it as its going to fall in the suggestive comments on their own the room was full of people muttering and clouds of Cigarette Smoke max hansens voice grated from the Phonograph Speaker and then comes a call from hanson books and yet. We had a good beat up. On. The main issue you. Need me if you know the think you need to. Believe him and ill talk right of inishmaan how can i continue my daily routine when i realize that everything around me is changing radically and i throw this up the shaft a lot since i got to be careful he is just one of us no more rule of law often and its easy to fall into the clutches of a wild pack of essay wolves thats bush didnt need money would never stick his neck out like phillip because benny going to no way even if he says im going to know what hes a totally different kind of character your feet are going to sometimes i wonder how going to could have survived back then. Rod might have a big mouth in charlies present but never around anyone from the s. S. O. S. A. It was if we had was as they can all go projects i used to carefully plot out everything as you should do with Crime Stories of the plot is really important but lots of ideas come to you while youre writing and thats great its surprising how many of these ideas you can use and how things work out differently than id imagined and thats not so bad because if i can surprise myself hopefully i can surprise my readers as well at least thats what im striving to achieve for us just as hes gotten most of. This is what gave you my heart to look like in a new graphic novel. This is beyond your comic all soon this is how the artist imagine same effect of being done for them his gear we are in front of headquarters on berlins alexanderplatz in the plots and thats barely house. You can see the stop lights and power lines and of course a cigarette you better carry all never leaves home without one. We all know. The especially novels written in the first person are the i. In the eye makes it more personal its like you yourself are meeting gerbils youre self or having to shake his hand and have a meeting at a coffee and a cigarette with gerbils and you yourself are having to be careful about what you say so hopefully the choices the conversation brings you to. Brings bernie to the same choices that the reader would have which is you know how do i say how do i give this person what they want but without compromising my moral. My my true moral inner self how do i do that how do i not do everything he wants without ending up dead and so you know these are the things that interest me as a as a writer how to be how to walk that tightrope. Little. Girls was famously. Wanted. You seem to have had an affair with many actresses. Principally one called lead a bar over but he got a bit of a reputation as a ladies and it wasnt just the sort of rest of the the third reich that made jokes about about his sexual. Appetites it was pretty much so. And of course being in control of germanys Film Industry which was based here was like sort of. Putting this you know. A fact kid in charge of this weeks show really wasnt perhaps the best thing that could have. Could have happened. And cast early crime novel a quiet flame danny boldly climbs into the flask of yours if god is in the bathroom he leaves behind a most unpleasant calling card. I was asked myself what i would do you know and i guess thats what i would have done if i ever found myself in goebbels his bathroom you know i did yeah use this toilet and then flush it and. I got it as i think i probably told you earlier im going to sort of naturally dark sense of humor. Makes writing about nazi germany from a detective Point Of View so interesting because nobody is what they seemed. Just from a Fitting Shondra<\/a> for writing about this chapter of german history.

I got it as i think i probably told you earlier im going to sort of naturally dark sense of humor. Makes writing about nazi germany from\ra detective Point Of View<\/a> so interesting because nobody is what they seemed. Just from a Point Of View<\/a> and from a Point Of View<\/a> of survival that quite often the good the good guys arent what they seem to be because they have to pretend not to be good guys its like bernie as old as he might have always been a big fan of his era the one Nine Hundred Twenty<\/a> s. And thirtys the berlin of the New York Jets<\/a> tipitinas meant and american gangsters from the twentys and thirtys. And for her thats a good device he got from his emotions just in the end of it ive always found them fascinating despite as i got the idea of combining the two after watching two fillets but i feel like its a standard wished in. Road one was Road To Perdition<\/a> with tom hanks which came out around ten years ago. He did enough to me. When i was the other was fritz langs m. Salt honest i thought and it takes place in one thousand Nine Hundred Eighty<\/a> one the same year that the film was made on. The Road To Perdition<\/a> also takes place in one Nine Hundred Thirty One<\/a> but was shocked about seventy years later when a lot i could do it. Right there that. All of them. Oh dear here take. You back to mike and the world featured in the Road To Perdition<\/a> and the world of one Nine Hundred Thirty<\/a> s. Berlin it can also contemporaneous so why Dont Merge Them<\/a> thats how i got the idea for giving them oddities. To put it to suspect definitions of the political aspect germanys Political Development<\/a> is now the most important thing for me to be asked as so the idea to follow the course of this development was the second step and. Then i had the idea to create a series that goes beyond ninety thirty three instead of having these Gangster Stories<\/a> take place before Nine Hundred Thirty Three<\/a> in a more or less normal society thinks the mine shaft i want to use the crime novel to show how Society Changes<\/a> us if you use it and for that for me much to anybody didnt know my crime novels usually try to restore things to the status quo especially evil should be punished and locked away and gave me on does this the best he can he says but this is ultimately futile in the third right its the criminals hes hunting up both the murderous and his superiors you know and hes in a rather bizarre situation and this is what i wanted to trade. For you. I have vivid\rmemories of the third man its wonderful i always try to imagine those scenes when i write. Sometimes i imagine scenes in Black And White<\/a> or. Similar has had an enormous influence on me. Thats. What the book now. Yes he also addresses the fact that many french artists including john cook told admired they german counterparts people like hitlers favorite skull to. Cook doorway to play was a major collaborator he organized the Big Breaker Exhibition<\/a> in paris in one thousand Nine Hundred Two<\/a> and wrote an introduction for it. Who was fascinated with erotica visited the exhibition. He said its\ra good thing Statues Dont Have Erections<\/a> otherwise thered be no room to move around. According shasta swap on the bus comply purposely going to. His publisher is based in new york. And when his books come out in the u. S. He travels around the country to promote them this time because wife jane time has come along americans love his blend of nazi horror and hard boiled detective fiction. Theres only one thing worse than being an American Book Tour<\/a> and thats not being asked to do with america. Because its like its its. Theres a lot of adrenaline and its a performance. In\rnew york he makes an appearance at a small but well stocked book store that specializes in crime novels the mysterious bookshop. Unlike his colleagues doesnt care much for standard readings he prefers to talk about his latest books. Over the years ive learned a little awful lot about this period and you know you read about one Concentration Camp<\/a> or another or the holocaust and i became aware of the existence of this place in the former yugoslavia which was called just the end of the church wasnt just on the death count it was a murder and cruelty and killing cap. And that the\rcruelties that were practice they were on speak well im not going to give into details but they put this way it was so bad that your original s. S. Detachment whod been sent. Back to berlin and said look can we leave this place it was so bad even the s. S. Didnt want to be there bags how bad it was. Theres a kind of a train parked in this field it was the death train rather like the sort of train arrived Men Women And Children<\/a> were taken off this train and they were they went on this little ferry across a river and on this island there were all these people waiting to murder them with axes and. And beheading has become a kind of a phenomenon that weve become weve become very familiar with in in the newspapers of late. These yugoslavian Roman Catholic<\/a> priests who were principally\rresponsible for getting. Nazi War Criminals<\/a> out. And there was nobody worse than these people i think they probably killed. Between eighty and One Hundred Thousand<\/a> people on this Little Island<\/a> Roman Catholic<\/a> priests anyway that was the other thing why i want to write about the yugoslavs and the croats because its common as soon it was the germans who. Killed people and we forget the roles played by some of the other races in europe like like the crow and. There have been in auschwitz because i mean theres no scene in theres not really a scene in the book which is said. If there had been i would have got not yet well no i dont think there will be actually because i feel i would feel probably uncomfortable writing about it because i feel that. It was something that was so awful i think you know to try and\rdescribe it i dont think unless youve been there you kind of earned the right probably to write about it if youve been there but i think you havent really really earned the right to write about it if you havent been there. And i had to sort it was difficult because when i wrote from zagreb i had to go to this place this awful Concentration Camp<\/a>. In bosnia called years and verge and. I felt i had to get permission from the people who had died there so i sort of stood in the Sounds Melodramatic<\/a> but thats how it felt or stood in the cattle the the wagons transported the people on the train. The train is there so you can actually stand in these cattle cars and feel what it must have been like so i felt i had to sort of you know pray almost to the people and say look if im right about\rthis i promise i will not you know says trivialize this and i promise i will be your. Sorry. Ok. Professor now frank is get over you so you may want to. Know why the phone camera. Now you see what youre about the qualities of thank you. For this you know it is ok thank you so much. For. Paris august Nine Hundred Forty Four<\/a> the citys new german commander general details from cultists has earned his respect by leveling service to poll with the socalled col c. Took on. Hitler demanded that paris suffer the same fate. But fun call to ignore what his order is by then he had decided that hitler was insane. Some reports say that hitler phoned the general in a rage and screamed is paris burning. Menotti writes about the battles between Resistance Fighters<\/a> and german troops in the final days of the occupation. Hundreds were killed in the fighting. Uncultured surrendered his troops on august twenty fifth. Later that day general shoulder gold arrived in paris as the leader of the provisional government of the french republic. The german up. Of the french capital. Local residents celebrated. They also started punishing alleged. French women who had fashioned with german soldiers but publicly humiliated this was the beginning of a partial rewriting of the history of the war but the nazi refuses to accept this interpretation. Its Scapegoat Politics<\/a> so many things happened its time to come clean. In any case war has always been waged on the bodies of women. When you conquer a country you rape the women. In order to liberate the country you shave the heads of women. Or may not have slept with germans. Such uncivilized things didnt happen in the upper echelons. So. It was a way to deal with the horror of the war. Create a morally superior version of the past the. Crime novels because they represent my Dark View Of The World<\/a> the war and the period of collaboration are perfectly suited for crime novels. That. Theres more the pressure increased bit by bit more success means more pressure and\ryou grow into it and buxom it up to the office and im glad that my first novel babylon berlin wasnt immediately a huge success im going to have otherwise i would have had to keep chasing that success and even under bush going to cross did that his whole life because of the tin drum. It was kind of tragic. Luckily i didnt suffer the same fate though ill never win a nobel prize. This is. The one of the earliest forms of writing ever oh this is about Five Thousand<\/a> years b. C. And these little marks on it were written by. An architect and these things used to these to put them in little holes in the bill in the building that theyd made it was a description of who the architect was and it was like a little autobiography or a little. Like a little brass plaque on\ra wall. Thats right. You know i think its good to have a really early writing in front of you when when youre doing this because it just reminds you that really. Its the anything if you that will maybe last. Half. So much money and. Im going out. My Character Meeting<\/a> me would be a pretty horrific experience hed almost certainly hate me. Because every and his life you know he would have had a good life for me this is the ambivalent relationship rices have with their\rcharacters because they knew in their bones inside themselves they knew their character would hate them. And mine would certainly hate me. Instead as a father said i dont ask you ask yourself what would i have done back then and but you dont have an answer with your life you can come close to announce that through the novels through the situations that your characters get themselves into through their actions and development and make long. The untaught youll probably never find an onsite and. This is a maybe so not necessary. But its good if some readers think about it its all on his own and ask themselves the same questions that we do to them you know what would i have done back then i said it and i was going left well i dont leave the best way to understand writers is through their books make this meeting was very nice but the book reveals all that lets see the evil.
