“What I like about organizing things that way is that each story gets nearly full reign over its own space, but all of them are hung on a single string - the loosely-reined voice mentioned above. Thus the collection jogs away from suzerainty and past federation toward, I guess, alliance. Or maybe call each story a separate house on a single street? Or it's all a line of dive bars on some wharf front? What the hell, let's call reading the collection a pub crawl, but with words.” WayStoriesPastReadingHouseVoiceLinesSpaceHellStreetsFrontsBarsCollectionsOver ItStringsHungReignAlliancesPubsFederationOrganizing Things Author:Roy Kesey
“I didn't intentionally emplace the raw material needed for political/allegorical readings into any of the first drafts, but sooner or later I saw it coming, and I did intentionally not cut it from some of the final drafts. In other words, I'm not particularly interested in encouraging readers to read certain stories that way, but I want to make sure that route's accessible should anyone be so inclined.” WayWantShouldFirstsStoriesPoliticalCertainReadingSawsCuttingMaterialsReaderNeededFinalsSooner Or LaterRoutesRaw Materials Author:Roy Kesey
