A Conversation for Writing Right with Dmitri: Writing That's 'Just Right'
Two Novels

I recently read Daphne du Maurier's 'The Glassblowers', set against the background of the French Revolution. I found this flat, because there is far too much narrative. We don't live with the characters through enough scenes to care about them.
I have just started Heneln Dunmore's last novel 'Birdcage Walk', set in Bristol at the same time. It is so different, because there is little explanation, just observation. Showing not telling.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
