S. S. Van Dine Quotes

A Detective Novel Should Contain No Long Descriptive Passages, No Literary Dallying With Side-issues, No Subtly Worked-out Character Analyses, No 'atmospheric' Preoccupations. Such Matters Have No Vital Place In A Record Of Crime And Deduction. They Hold Up The Action And Introduce Issues Irrelevant To The Main Purpose, Which Is To State A Problem, Analyze It, And Bring It To A Successful Conclusion. To Be Sure, There Must Be A Sufficient Descriptiveness And Character Delineation To Give The Novel Verisimilitude.
