Harlan Coben: ‘In writing, no one has to fail so that I can succeed’
Harlan Coben talks about his academic career and why he’s not competitive about his success.
Speaking to 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake, he said: “I’m more called ambitious than competitive.”
He gave an example that “in basketball, part of the desire is not just to win but to beat somebody”.
“In writing, it’s not really the case.”
Harlan believes that “no one has to fail so that I can succeed”.
