Fyodor Boccaccio? What happened to Terry Gross? I'm sorry to hear that many scenes will take place in an ad agency. Would it be difficult to change the location to somewhere more uplifting like a brothel or an abattoir? We don't need any more Don Drapers, Michael Steadmans or Elliot Westons (OBSCURE readers will know those last two). In any event, let's move past these little fishing expeditions and finish the book already... please?!
Dear Ruben, I am 1/3 way through WAR AND PEACE and Tolstoy is still introducing new characters.
Please advise.
Fun fact: The edition of W&P I bought (from, Eric @ Bird & Beckett) is a 1942 edition with a placeholder pamphlet containing all the character's names, (formal and pet names) and in which chapter they are introduced. It also contains an annotated map of Napoleon's progress toward Moscow with dates. AND another progress line marked with little red swastikas delineating Hitler's progress to Moscow. Unlike the Napoleon outcome, Hitler's outcome was not yet known when the book went to press. I'm trying to get a handle on this whole Putin thing. But this book is spectacular.
I deeply regret not commenting on The Nature Preserve as I was reading it. I laughed through the whole book. Also, I suggest promoting your art to bring attention to your writing. If you can somehow turn it into video you can then post it as a reel on Instagram. My reel of dark storm clouds got over 7000 views.
