Back at Guys Can Read with one of my favourite novels
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Interviews, Plots, podcasts, Writer basics 101 on March 15, 2011
Those lovely dudes at Guys Can Read have invited me back to recommend one of my favourite books. I chose Tony and Susan by Austin Wright. This novel manages to pull off a trick I have seen done badly so many times – the story within the story. Why is it often done badly and how does this author do it well? Head on over to Luke and Kevin’s to find out – and also hear some other recommendations of thumping good reads.
As usual, I have way more to say on the subject, so on Sunday I’ll be discussing stories within stories, and fantasies within story worlds.
I’m taking questions about it now, so if you have anything you want to ask, leave a comment here!
