The weather

A common complaint from those who don’t much like Broken Angels is that there is too much description about Alaska—especially the weather.

Elmore Leonard has a much-quoted essay on his rules for good writing. Which can be summed in one meta-rule: No hooptedoodle. Or, translated: Don’t write what readers don’t want to read.

This includes weather. Really, who cares?

Quotes by Russell Heath  (?)

“The night air was crystal-still. When she listened, Kris heard the blood pulse in her ears. Nothing could be more different from Los Angeles: from its hard, unwinking lights; the ceaseless, restless movement of cars and people; the background rumble of engines and brakes and tires rolling on hot pavement; and the city’s grit blown against your skin, plugging your nose, coating your mouth, and sticking to your sweat.”
Russell Heath, Broken Angels: An Alaska Mystery
