Pascha Sotolongo:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Pascha Sotolongo
This is a great question, and a difficult one. After all, narratives are built upon conflict, and that means the worlds of our stories are often fraught, complex, or, sometimes, terrifying (e.g. The Road or Kindred). Even when book worlds don't directly feed a story's conflict, they often reflect it, adding subtext or amplifying motif. That said, Tolkien's Lothlórien stands out for me as a distinctly dreamy and intoxicating landscape—peaceful, safe, with golden autumnal leaves that hang all winter upon silvery tree limbs. As to what I'd do there... I'd just wander.
