Full disclosure. I read this a long time ago.
And LOVED it.
High school required reading got one right (I’ve read it since high school too, by the way).
One “writers trick” that I really love is when one character tells another character their story.
Tolkien does it a lot in Lord of the Rings. Shelley does it in Frankenstein.
I would like to implement it in my stories.
Perhaps they’ll be read one day.
