You can see that habit in the way he shapes a story. The place shows up fast, and it feels lived in. The little facts do not seem like set dressing. Many of his plots read like a search for clues. He does not rush to big claims at the start. Instead, the story moves forward in small turns, one after another. Later on, the main idea shows up in full.

In his work, history and made up scenes sit side by side. The writing gives you room to pause. While you keep going, you start hunting for meaning, not only waiting for a final reveal.
