Not everyone who pitches literary fiction is actually writing literary fiction because so much of that depends on the quality of the writing on a line level, the specific style.
And this is 100% literary fiction.
I love the first line, Clay is in the business of fantasy.
So when he sees the camels, he pretends that he hasn't
specific, curiosity inducing, voicey, like it's just, it's absolutely great.
I wanted, the thing about literary fiction especially is that because the plot isn't what's keeping us turning the pages, like we're not turning the pages because of plot.
And because of that, I think that we need even more depth of emotion and insight than we normally do in a novel.
And so there were a whole bunch of passages in which I'm like, hmm, I want to know, I want more depth.
Like here's an example.
The protagonist is using new sandals and he thinks to himself, why couldn't the professor have forked out for some premium leather?
And instead of a question, I want an opinion.
I want a theory.
I want more.
I want him to say that when it comes to his own sandals, the professor does fork out for real leather, but not for his.
Or maybe he has a theory because he got these sandals for him in a day when they were, I don't know, not doing super well.
And it was a message.
It was a message of like, I'm not going to get you gifts that are as nice if you don't act a certain way.
Or something else.
I don't know.
But I wanted him to interpret and to go deeper and to offer strong opinions that just involve more cognitive brain power.
