Goodreads asked Robert Detman:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Robert Detman I’ve always been intrigued by relationships, and at the heart of IMPOSSIBLE LIVES OF BASHER THOMAS is relationships. In the relationship between the two main characters, Harry and Basher, there is a dynamic of tension because one has succeeded beyond what is normal or imaginable, and this leaves the other behind. There is a level of psychological intrigue in this dynamic, leading to questions of how characters are motivated and how those motivations cause them to veer from a normal path. This could be through circumstances from within or without. Adding to this tension is the quality of retrospection and memory that haunts the survivor.
