![]() ![]() His agenda is something entirely different. ![]() So what is How Fiction Works about? Does James Wood really lay bare for us how fiction works? I went home right away and read the book from cover to cover…. I took that as a sign that I was on the right track. It felt like the normal world had gotten broken, and something exciting was taking place. That was a fun trip the library elevators weren’t working, and a security guard had to escort me up to the fifth floor. Then I thought what the hell and trudged through the snow to Columbia College. But still I posted a couple of comments on Shya’s posts, and Shya wrote back, and I wrote back, and before I knew it I’d written a very long comment that I turned into my own post, “Uncover Your Tracks.” Nor did I have any real plan to read How Fiction Works. Before that I’d heard of James Wood but hadn’t read anything by him I knew some people liked him and some didn’t like him. ![]() On January 22, I read Shya Scanlon’s post “The Dull King” on January 25 I read his second post “Cover Your Tracks.” Both were about reading James Wood’s How Fiction Works. ![]()
