Parker, photographed, Feb. 19, 1981 at home in Lynnfield, Massachusetts., is the creator of Spenser, a private eye with a difference in a continuing popular fiction tradition. ?Plots in the Spenser books are a way for him to manifest what he is,? says Parker. ?I?m interested in the character and the way he behaves and the way one ought to behave when one encounters the issues of one?s time.?
