Dear Fictician,
I am a writer of fictions as well. I am also an avid reader. I read, of Thomas Hardy, that “Hardy manages to merge the various factors of his tale–character, incident, and setting–into close co-ordination, thereby achieving a high degree of unity.” How important do you think merging elements into a united whole is? I rather like books with subplots that are not singular, blunt objects.
Sincerely,
Hardly Hardy
