Literary is not the first word you think of when you think of James Patterson, fan or not. He is, however, an undeniable master of marketing, producing many books a year with and without co-authors. Thankfully, Patterson himself does not have pretensions to literary greatness. From an interview with MediaBistro.com:
"I probably wouldn't try to write a literary novel. I think I can write an acceptably good novel, but I am not particularly interested in talking to that audience. I think a lot of the things that are praised are just kind of show-off prose, which is just not my thing. I can appreciate it, you know. I'm a big reader and I read all kinds of things, but it is not something I want to do."
