• ‟ Poland is a wildly dramatic and tragic story. It's just unbelievable what went on with those people. How they survive, I don't really know. The Germans had a particular hatred for the Poles; they really considered them subhuman Slavs, and they were very brutal to them.

  - Alan Furst
  

• ‟ I write what I call 'novels of consolation' for people who are bright and sophisticated.

  - Alan Furst

  - Alan Furst
