Mystery writer Stanley Gardner reflects on craft and commerce
Stanley Gardner, famed creator of Mason, discusses his career and work habits in Southern California. He says he is mainly a businessman, not a writer, and notes a shift toward concentrating on books while maintaining Court of Last Resort duties. Born in Malden, Mass., he recounts a lifelong legal background, writing paths from Westerns to mysteries with legal settings, and hints at a future grave stone epitaph.
