It's funny that people resist the idea that a writer might not know something about her story, might even desire the ignorance, the unknown areas that surround the story (not to mention the unknown areas <i>within</i> the story). What's not on the page is anyone's guess, and I mistrust authors who make claims beyond the actual text of the book.scott g.f.baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726743149139510832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-86882883026189528522015-01-28T22:55:00.455-05:002015-01-28T22:55:00.455-05:00Ah, thanks, Tim.
