'Everything went into that novel' It’s me, blood and guts, it's all there.’
And they are not joking. Some blockbusters novelists when they are on an authorial roll, will overwhelm you with detail i.e in describing a street there well be a list of the trees and bushes that are no longer there. You surface of this detail and gasp for air, it is supposed to be endearingly pedantic, and under explicated it is not.
Everything goes in the precocious display of a bestselling writer’s knack for projecting deranged involvement in a fantasy, 'he felt he could touch see tress that were no longer there, while standing far enough outside it to keep a shrewd eye on matters of narrative placement, 'but enough of that
he had to hurry along to see her, maybe for the last time, now that she was a crack cocaine addict. As he hurried along he thought of the guys in the office casting doubts on his sexuality because he was thinking of holidaying in Capri or Mykonos. "Ok", he demurred "so its not extreme sports but what the hell, I would rather look at mountains than throw myself off them."
Although it may be related with charm and plausibility, writerly attributes are just not enough. In the end It is not Charlotte Brontes 'Dear Reader; but us, 'Poor Reader' who are cudgelled with words.
