John Grisham Fiction Quotations

After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.

It may seem odd that I'm here today - the unapologetic writer of popular fiction - on Faulkner's front porch about to announce the finalists for the National Book Award, which are our most prestigious literary awards.

I've written 17 novels, and I've found out that fiction can't keep up with real life.

The good thing about writing fiction is that you can get back at people.

I learned that lesson a long time ago. When you write popular fiction, you're going to get bashed by critics.
