I’ve done a lot of stories over the years, and sometimes there are larks, and they’re fun, and you kind of move on. David Grann Read Quote
A lot of the stories I write about have an element of mystery. They’re crime stories or conspiracy stories or quests. They do have built into them revelations and twists. But the revelations, to me, come from seeing history as it’s unfolding, or life as it’s unfolding. David Grann Read Quote

The Osage have this lovely phrase: ‘Travelers in the Mist.’ It was the term for part of an Osage clan that would take the lead whenever the tribe was venturing into unfamiliar realms. And, in a way, we are all travelers in the mist. The challenge is that, as writers, we sometimes want to ignore this murkiness, or we want to write around it. David Grann Read Quote
