With Martin Scorsese directing a film of The Snowman , and more readers discovering peace tv urdu his work every day, it s easy to see the trajectory ahead. (Readers of this blog may recall that this book cover was recognized as a top book cover for 2011 .)
We talked about Jo s unorthodox path to best selling writer. He started playing professional football (soccer for US readers) and was sidelined after ruining ligaments in both knees. Since then, he tried a few other careers including taxi driver and stockbroker. In Norway, he was mostly known as a successful rock star. He s the lead singer and songwriter for the band Di Derre. Writing Process

Jo explained his writing process. Unlike many writers who don t know the ending and write organically, Jo outlines extensively. So much so (he spends about a year just planning) that he feels like he is not creating a story but retelling it.
So when I actually sit down and I write Chapter One and the story begins, I don t have the feeling that I m creating the story. I just have the feeling that I m retelling the story, so I can tell the reader to come sit closer because I have this great story to tell you. And I know exactly how it goes so trust me. Memorable Character
Harry Hole is the main character in Jo s novels. He s a first rate detective working the most dangerous cases. Jo talked about the development of this memorable character. Jo explains

that Harry was developed over a few books. By his third book, he finally felt like he knew him. Jo describes Harry as normal, but he is flawed peace tv urdu as a workaholic with drug and alcohol addictions. Harry doesn t bond with people because, peace tv urdu His experience in life is that the people he loves will be taken away from him. Success
I ve always been interested peace tv urdu in how and whether success changes people. I loved Jo s answer to my question about his success. Does the success of one book add pressure and make it harder or easier to write the next one? Jo responded that the sales figures don t change anything for him, but, What inspires me is the feeling that I m getting better at what I m doing.
