“I’m not sure, honestly. I didn’t sit down to write one, certainly. I rarely try to interject messages into my books, though sometimes they worm their way in. (The Alcatraz books are particularly bad about this.) Certainly, a war here would be a bad thing. Idris and Hallandren shouldn’t be involved in trying to kill one another. But am I, myself, antiwar? Well, again, I don’t know how to answer that. Is anyone prowar? War is a terrible, terrible thing. Sometimes it’s necessary, but that doesn’t ...make it any less terrible. I’m no great political thinker. In fact, being a novelist has made me very bad at talking about political topics. Because I spend so much time in the heads of so many different characters, I often find myself sympathizing with wildly different philosophies. I like to be able to see how a person thinks and why they believe as they do. I didn’t mean this to be a book about the Iraq war—not at all. But war is what a lot of people are talking about, and I think it’s wise to be cautionary.MoreLessRead More Read Less
