Peter also tells us about the revered Chinese detective with 500 million fans, his affinity with the Hebrides and Lewis, writing the new normal into fiction, why he’s enjoying some well earned down time but not looking forward to a coming French adaptation of one of his Chinese set novels relocated to Korea.
