Re-Richard Locke
From
Date
Body
As a useful antidote to obsessions with Author-X¹s mooted Influence on
Author-Y, I¹ve been reading (audio-book hearing) Faulks on Fiction Great
British Characters and the Secret Life of the Novel. This is novelist
Sebastian Faulk¹s reaction to his personal ups¹n¹downs via Lit Theory¹s
spins on author-as-human-like-us vs product-as-self-contained-text. In
particular, Faulks welcomes VN¹s dislike of hunting for real-life
biographical¹ influences in the novelist¹s choice of characters/actions.
Faulks¹s message is, Lord, deliver us from total critical-method immersion!
Stay afloat and enjoy the stories and characters as precious inventions.
