Erin asked Nick Harkaway:

Your work often weaves in elements of pulp, action, thriller and even (most recently) the super hero genre - would you ever consider working on a graphic novel?

Nick Harkaway Sure. I have a couple I keep meaning to pitch, actually. And I'd LOVE to write some superhero stuff at some point on an established character, ideally one of the ones everyone thinks is rubbish so I can do something totally nuts. But there's only so many hours in the day, and I haven't even written up my new TV pitches. Or finished the new novel. It's a question of timing and serendipity (extraordinary word).

Michael L. asked Nick Harkaway:

I'm going along reading Angelmaker, loving the writing and sort of daydreaming all the while. Then Joe goes with Polly for the first time to her place and there's the bed with the attached train and their conversation leading to my eyes opening wide and my attention snagged so thoroughly. Did you know that would happen? I'm certain it wasn't just me!

Grantimatter asked Nick Harkaway:

How do you know if a plot you're currently in the middle of writing will be of interest to anyone else? (I mean, you know what's likely to happen next, and you know the characters well enough to know why they made the decisions they made that got them there.)
