"This," the 57-year-old writer says, indicating the palatial mobile accommodations that surround us, "is as close as you can get to a private rail car these days." I am left with the distinct impression that, if such conveyances were still available, Saul would be near the front of the line to get one. More accurately, he's on a book tour, driving around in his own rock-star-appropriate bus, complete with leather furnishings and glass shower enclosure. Though, to be honest, camping doesn't quite describe it. John Saul is camping when I catch up with him. So that was probably the most violent thing I've ever done, which I suspect is why because the public seems to have this unending thirst for the violence that I was unwilling to keep serving up. I didn't really like writing all the gore anyway. I thought that if kids that young were going to be reading me I was going to tone down the gore. I sort of toned down the violence after that. I think because it was the most violent thing I ever wrote.
