Hi Sally,

The inspiration for the story came from two places. I first had the idea while listening to the song "Bullets" by Tunng. A line from the song also serves as the epigraph preceding the novel. Then I envisioned the setting by remembering a writing lesson from school, where we were instructed to write a short story within a genre we either had little experience reading or a genre we downright disliked. Before embarking on Bullet Catcher I had never read a western nor seen very many movies. I wanted to challenge myself by writing outside of my comfort zone. That, combined with the sense that a western setting would serve the idea of the story well, was the inspiration for the novel.

Hope you found this answer interesting. Thank you for the question!

The Great Whatever

Michel Houellebecq is judging you...





Michel Houellebecq is judging you...








Michel Houellebecq has been described as the enfant terrible of contemporary French writers. And I think that’s an apt description, in the same way that Macaulay Culkin in The Good Son or that rambunctious kid from The Omen were enfant terribles.

Whatever is my second journey into the mind of Houellebecq, after The Elementary Participle

“The sand doesn't care if you're made of flesh or stone.”
Joaquin Lowe, Bullet Catcher

“It's late at night when the memory comes for me, like it always seems to when the relief of sleep seems ready to draw me under.”
Joaquin Lowe, Bullet Catcher

“I could just like down, right here, and let the sand cover me like a blanket. But my legs, clumsy as they've become, keep stumbling forward on their own. I'm not frightened and I'm not sorry. Not even a little bit. Nikko and I shared this fate, six years apart. We both walked into the desert, and we will both have died out here, under the wide open sky. At this moment, I feel closer to him than I have in years. Maybe that's what Endd meant when she said that none of us are ever truly alone.”
Joaquin Lowe, Bullet Catcher

“The tiny features below, taken together with the gentle mass of Montblanc towering above them, the Vanoise glacier almost invisible in the shimmering distance, and the Alpine panorama that occupied half the horizon, had for the first time in her life awoken in her a sense of the contrarieties that are in our longings.”
W.G. Sebald, The Emigrants

“The seasons and the years came and went... and always... one was, as the crow flies, about 2,000 km away - but from where? - and day by day hour by hour, with every beat of the pulse, one lost more and more of one's qualities, became less comprehensible to oneself, increasingly abstract.”
W.G. Sebald, The Emigrants

“...I was just laying aside a Lausanne paper I'd bought in Zurich when my eye was caught by a report that said the remains of the Bernese alpine guide Johannes Naegeli, missing since summer 1914, had been released by the Oberaar glacier, seventy-two years later. And so they are ever returning to us, the dead. At times they come back from the ice more than seven decades later and are found at the edge of the moraine, a few polished bones and a pair of hobnailed boots.”
W.G. Sebald, The Emigrants

“...part of me must have really wanted to believe--like a child hearing, in perfect safety, a tale of horror--that the unconscious would be like any other room, once the light was let in. That the dark shapes would resolve only into toy horses and Biedermeyer furniture. That therapy could tame it after all, bring it into society with no fear of its someday reverting. I wanted to believe, despite everything my life had been. Can you imagine?”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

“...Our beauty lies in this extended capacity for convolution.”
