A biography for Evan Hunterhasn’t been written yet.
“I try to keep all my novels in print. Sometimes publishers don't agree with me as to their worth.”
“I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?”
“I was a blond-haired kid with blue eyes, growing up in an Italian ghetto. I had a very high IQ. In elementary school, I skipped ahead twice. I was 10 years old when everyone else was 12.”
“Readers are what it's all about, aren't they? If not, why am I writing?”
“I think of myself as a softy. I think the 87th Precinct novels are very sentimental, and the cops are idealistic guys.”
