Why politics matter in WLW fiction
"I wish she'd leave out the politics," wrote one reviewer. I get it. No one looking to be entertained wants to read a sermon instead. But I just finished writing a new book, Strands, in which the story turns on whether the characters can marry.

quote
“The spring is wound up tight. It will uncoil of itself. That is what is so convenient in tragedy. The least little turn of the wrist will do the job . . . The rest is automatic. You don’t need to lift a finger. The machine is in perfect order; it has been oiled ever since time began, and it runs without friction . . . Tragedy is clean, it is restful, it is flawless . . . In a tragedy, nothing is in doubt and everyone’s destiny is known. That makes for tranquility . . . Tragedy is restful; and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it. There isn’t any hope. You’re trapped.”
