A discussion we were having:
Just because a book doesn’t read like the author cut a vein and bled all over the page doesn’t mean it’s a bad book, although it’s probably not the kind of book I like to read necessarily.
I like to feel like the author was there, and they were having deep feelings while they were writing the book. I don’t want to feel their hand in it, I don’t want to feel their authorness (whatever that is) (but you know what I mean), but I do want a sense of what went into it. I want to finish a book and know the author died on the page and then was reborn again.
Jami is becoming my internet guru. Hope that’s not weird!
