So, I’ve been following Jeff VanderMeer’s series of posts on his new book, Finch, and I’m wondering if anybody else here has? I’m asking here because he’s an SF author discussing an SF book.
I found his commentary to be very interesting and insightful, and quite above the sort of analysis/commentary I’ve seen elsewhere. (Well, Uncle Jim is right up with it, I suppose.)
I’ve never run into an author who focused so much attention on blocking in an online critique/blog post/thingy, or such attention to character detail. Now, I’m sure people see a lot more of this stuff in workshops, and possibly literature classes, but, web-wise, it’s pretty near the top level as far as I’ve seen.
Thoughts?
