The Long Overdue Return of Wright’s Writing Corner
A short piece this week on the Unexpected Assumptions of readers.
Excerpt:
When I was young and arrogant, I used to criticize authors for not handling “obvious” issues in their books-issues which, in retrospect, were usually me jumping to some conclusion that the author could never have been expected to foresee.
Well, this particular phenomena has come back to haunt me, as now similar things are happening to my readers.
