RTE: Describe yourself in a sentence?

Herron: An average-looking man, wearing glasses, who missed a bit shaving.


RTE: What's the one record you'd take to a desert island?

Herron: Keith Jarrett’s “Sun Bear Concerts”. (It’s a six-CD set, so that’s cheating. If I’m forced to pick one, the Osaka concert.)


RTE: What did you want to be when you were growing up?

Herron: A novelist.

RTE: Who's your oldest friend?

Herron: Nick Smith

RTE: If I ruled the world...

Herron: The weather would improve

RTE: Which book do you wish you'd written?

Herron: The one that’s been in the back of my mind for about ten years now, and requires a lot of research

RTE: What makes you angry?

Herron: Late trains; slow-moving queues; people talking loudly on mobile phones.


RTE: Name your five dream dinner party guests.

Herron: Harry Bosch, Arkady Renko, Clarice Starling, Jane Whitefield and Jackson Brodie.


RTE: Who would you least like to be stuck in a lift with?

Herron: Anyone with a mobile-phone signal.

RTE: What inspired you to start writing?

Herron: No single blinding instant – just reading everything I could put my hands on.


RTE: Where would you most like to live?

Herron: Near the sea.

RTE: Sum up your latest book in no more than 12 words.

Herron: Burnt-out has-been seeks revenge or redemption: he’s not sure which.
