A similar style of work, with written sequences of events, was used by the queen of detective stories, Agatha Christie. – Crime authors are divided into those who know how their book will end and those who don’t. I do not hide too much that I am one of the authors who know. Why? Because I also tried the first version and it just didn’t quite work out, those books just didn’t have a good structure. That’s why I think it’s very difficult to write a good book when you don’t know who the murderer is, because it’s such a logically complex structure, like a large building where everything has to play together, that it’s extremely difficult to write live. This can often have an effect deus ex machina, i.e. I write, I write, I write, I don’t know what to write anymore, it’s a snick – a murderer from a hat, not fitting, from a hat, but it is there to finish the book. And how does he know that the author of “Dead Cliff” shares this approach to writing with Agatha Christie? Watch the conversation.
Jędrzej Pasierski often reads his books aloud. “In my head it’s one big ringing melody”
– Writing without a sequence of events is like making a movie without a script, it can work, but I haven’t seen a good experimental movie without a script. I myself value as a reader, as a recipient, a precise plot that takes me from one point to another, surprising, fresh and this kind of plot needs to be thought out in advance. It is a kind of creation, because writing is one thing and inventing is another thing – says Pasierski. In the conversation, which you can also listen to as Publio’s “Read Well, Listen Well” podcast, we also talked about the rhythm of the novel.
Pasierski compares a crime writer to a storyteller who, long ago, captured the listener’s attention by telling stories. That’s why he reads his books aloud many times. – A book must have a rhythm and in my head it’s one big resounding melody and when it breaks down, I watch how it breaks down – he explains.
