Harlan Coben on why even bestselling authors get those self-loathing writer blues

Salon  

What happens after you've seen 70 million copies of your books go to print, been translated to 43 languages and had your works adapted into film and television productions around the world? When people film it, even though it's not his fault, it's "Wall Street Exec Beats Up Homeless Guy," "Rich Guy Beats Up Poor Guy." It feels like this is a moment where a lost woman is a presence in literature now, whether it's in a book like "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" Then there's a final reveal and it just feels like, "OK. Well, I couldn't have seen that." Not to say I won't do that are right here and right where I am, but it's been really fun to work with people who really see the book very differently than I do.
